Active Forces and Flow for Cellular Polarization

If you have a question about this talk, please contact Duncan Simpson .

Active material flow of the contractile actomyosin cortex is important for many cell biological processes. Here I report on the physical mechanisms that underlie coordinated and large-scale flow of the cellular cortex in Caenorhabditis elegans embryos, which we have investigated in a combined experimental and theoretical approach. I also discuss how cortical flow switches a set of PAR proteins to obtain a non-homogeneous distribution, which polarizes the cell. Our results reveal how cellular mechanics and biochemistry interact to establish cellular polarity.
