Title: Mathematical Models for Extracellular Matrix Regeneration and Remodeling in Biological Soft TissuesAbstract: Many biological soft tissues exhibit complex interactions between passive (biophysical, biomechanical) mechanisms, and active physiological responses. These interactions affect the ability of the tissue to remodel in order to maintain homeostasis, or govern alterations in tissue properties with aging and disease. In tissue engineering…

Title: Courtship is a Two-Way Conversation: Yeast Mating as a Model of Cell-Cell Communication Abstract: Many cells track chemical signals, but mechanisms of target location are elusive. The budding yeast, an established model of cell-cell communication, tracks a pheromone signal during mating. Pheromone binds to cell surface receptors, triggering the concentration of polarity proteins into…
