Learn about active nematic theories and their application to collective cell motility in this 36-minute seminar presentation from the Biological Physics/Physical Biology series. Explore theoretical frameworks that describe how cells move and interact collectively, drawing insights from the physics of liquid crystals and active matter. Delve into the mathematical models and physical principles that govern cellular organization, movement patterns, and emergent behaviors in biological systems. Gain valuable understanding of how active nematic theories help explain complex cellular dynamics observed in tissue development, wound healing, and cancer progression.
