Stochasticity in Epithelial Tissues by Medhavi Viswakarma

Explore the role of stochasticity in epithelial tissues through this comprehensive lecture by Medhavi Viswakarma from the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delve into the complex world of active matter in biological systems, focusing on the random processes that influence tissue behavior. Learn how environmental factors and cellular interactions contribute to the stochastic nature of epithelial tissues. Gain insights into cutting-edge research methodologies, including advanced microscopy techniques and microfluidic devices, used to study these dynamic systems. Understand the implications of stochasticity for tissue formation, homeostasis, and disease processes. This 89-minute talk is part of the "Active Matter in Complex Environments" program, offering valuable knowledge for researchers and students interested in biophysics, cell biology, and complex systems.
