Save Big on Coursera Plus. 7,000+ courses at $160 off. Limited Time Only!
Explore the fascinating world of developmental biology in this 46-minute conference talk by Madhav Mani at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics. Delve into the concept of hidden symmetries in final form as part of the "Symmetries in Morphogenesis: From Mechanisms to Principles" online conference. Discover how embryos make their first decisions, separating top from bottom and left from right through a series of symmetry-breaking events. Learn about the wide range of mechanisms driving symmetry breaking, including nonlinear gene network dynamics, tissue mechanics, and embryonic fluid hydrodynamics. Gain insights into recent efforts by physicists to develop theories based on symmetry breaking concepts, suggesting a path toward unified principles of development. Understand how advancements in computational power, imaging techniques, and single-cell methods have accelerated progress in this field. Explore the collaborative efforts of developmental biologists and theoretical physicists in assessing symmetry breaking processes and working towards a unified theory of morphogenesis.
