Statistical physics of living systems
from Theoretical Physics - From Outer Space to Plasma
Professor Julia Yeomans describes how mechanical models are being extended to incorporate the unique properties of living systems Epithelial tissues cover the outer surfaces of the body and line the body’s internal cavities. The motion of epithelial cells is key to many life processes: turnover of skin cells, embryogenesis, the spread of cancer and wound healing. Much remains to be understood about the ways in which cells interact and move together. I will describe how mechanical models are being extended to incorporate the unique properties of living systems.
