SUMMARY:Upside Down and Inside Out: The Biomechanics of Cell Sheet Folding

DESCRIPTION:Deformations of cell sheets are ubiquitous in early animal dev
 elopment\, often arising from a complex and poorly understood interplay of
  cell shape changes\, division\, and migration. In this talk I will descri
 be an approach to understanding such problems based on perhaps the simples
 t example of cell sheet folding: the "inversion" process of the algal genu
 s Volvox\, during which spherical embryos literally turn themselves inside
  out through a process hypothesized to arise from cell shape changes alone
 .  Through a combination of light sheet microscopy and elasticity theory a
  quantitative understanding of this process is now emerging.
