Mechanical Forces in Biology
Date and time
Description
100 year after the publication of the seminal work of d’Arcy Thompson “On growth and form”, the contribution of mechanical forces to the organization and homeostasis of living matter has gain more and more interest. This symposium aims to foster interactions between researchers in Institut Pasteur and from Paris sharing interests for the role of forces in biological matter, from the molecular scale to subcellular, cellular and tissular levels.
