Long range cell-cell communication under surface adhesion, fluid flow and 3D microstructure
We investigate how cell-cell communication, adhesion, fluid flow, and microstructure control cell migration and tissue formation in response to dynamic extracellular conditions.

About
BA In tissue biology, communities of cells interact with the local environment to form whole tissues that then join to become entire organs. Adherent and differentiated cells exist in a tissue matrix that supports their survival and proliferation are constantly being exposed to different environmental cues. Here, we aim to investigate long range cell-cell communication that leads to directional cell migration and formation of tissue units. Our goal is to study how dynamics extracellular conditions, adhesion, fluid flow and microstructure control and regular direct cell-cell communications.
