Active Plastic Flow of Epithelial Tissue

Explore a 46-minute conference talk on active plastic flow in epithelial tissue presented by Fridtjof Brauns at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics (KITP). Delve into the fascinating world of active matter and its application to biological systems as part of "The Many Faces of Active Mechanics" conference. Gain insights into the collective phenomena emerging from energy-consuming components in active solids, with a focus on epithelial tissue dynamics. Discover how this research connects to broader topics in active matter, including living systems, cell assemblies, and engineered materials. Learn about the latest developments in understanding and engineering active solids, from hydrogels to metamaterials. Engage with cutting-edge concepts at the intersection of hydrodynamics, elasticity, and non-equilibrium physics in the context of biological tissues.
