Mathematical Biology seminar: "Communicating by touch"

HyunJoong Kim (University of Utah)

4:00pm - 5:00pm David Rittenhouse Laboratory, A6

During development, cells figure out their location and fate through morphogen concentration gradients. The most commonly accepted mechanism for morphogen gradient formation is diffusion from a local source combined…

Mathematical Biology seminar: "Many-body problem of classical mechanics in cell biology"

Alexander Mogilner (New York University)

4:00pm - 5:00pm David Rittenhouse Laboratory, A6

Many-body problem of celestial mechanics revolutionized applied mathematics and continues to provide inspiration. Math/physical communities are much less aware that there are numerous example of…

Mathematical Biology seminar: "Control of membrane-bound tethered signaling reactions"

Samuel Isaacson (Boston University)

4:00pm - 5:00pm David Rittenhouse Laboratory, A6

Many membrane-bound T cell receptors have long, unstructured cytoplasmic tails that contain tyrosine sites. These sites can serve as regulators of receptor activation when phosphorylated or…

Mathematical Biology seminar: “Water Dynamics in Cells and Tissues"

Sean Sun (Johns Hopkins University)

4:00pm - 5:00pm Tedori Family Auditorium, Levin Building, 425 S University Ave.

The mammalian cell surface is highly permeable to water. The cell can also actively control the water flux across the cell surface by pumping solutes (mostly ions), and thereby controlling the cell water…

Mathematical Biology seminar: "Fertilization Regulatory Networks"

Gustavo Martínez-Mekler (Instituto de Ciencias Físicas, UNAM)

4:00pm - 5:00pm Tedori Family Auditorium, Levin Building, 425 S University Ave

Fertilization is one of the fundamental processes of living systems. Here I will address marine external fertilization and comment on recent work on mammals. I will show…
