Description:
Explore the fascinating world of biological pattern formation in this comprehensive lecture by Vijaykumar Krishnamurthy from the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delve into topics such as nonequilibrium patterns, pigmentation in snakes, cell division, tissue development, and active matter. Examine physical problems in developmental biology, hydrodynamic theories, and reaction-diffusion models including Turing patterns. Investigate the cytoskeleton as a force generator, the hydrodynamics of active gels, and mechanochemical patterns in the actomyosin cortex. Gain insights into emergence, steady-state phenomena, and the reductionist versus constructionist approaches in understanding complex biological systems.
