2019年7月12日（金）10:30-11:30 大阪大学基礎工学研究科 国際棟シグマホール 講演者： Yun Seok Heo Associate Professor, Biomedical Engineering, School of Medicine Keimyung University, Korea 講演タイトル： Microfluidic applications for Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) Abstract: Many biological studies, drug screening methods, and cellular therapies require preservation, culture, and manipulation of living cells outside their natural environment. The gap between the cellular microenvironment in vivo and in vitro and non-physiological preservation conditions such as low temperatures and cryoprotectant toxicity, however, pose challenges for obtaining physiologically relevant responses from cells used in basic biological studies or drug screenings and for achieving the maximum functional potential from cells used therapeutically. The micro- and nano- technologies and methods close the physiological gap to […]...

第51回生物機械システム研究会 (日本機械学会バイオエンジニアリング部門所属研究会) / 機能創成セミナー Date: May 7 (Tue), 2019, 15:30-17:10 Place: Seminar Room, Engineering Science International Building, Toyonaka Campus, Osaka University (大阪大学 豊中キャンパス 基礎工学国際棟セミナー室) （No. 21 in https://www.osaka-u.ac.jp/en/access/toyonaka ） Speakers: – Amin Doostmohammadi (Rudolf Peierls Centre for Theoretical Physics, University of Oxford, UK) – Kennedy Omondi Okeyo (Institute for Frontier Life & Medical Sciences, Kyoto University) Keynote talk: Cellular Active Fluids (Amin Doostmohammadi) / 15:30-16:30 Abstract: Monolayers of cells in tissue and bacterial colonies growing on substrates are ample examples of materials that are continuously driven out of equilibrium by the activity of their constituent elements. One generic property of these active materials is the spontaneous emergence of collective flows […]...

下記セミナーを開催します．外部の研究者や学生の方もご自由に参加下さい． Date: 19th November (Monday), 13:00-14:00 Place: Seminar room B204 (Engineering Science building, Toyonaka campus) Speaker: Felix Kempf (Statistical and Biological Physics, Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich) Title: Cells, Bacteria, Biofilaments – Invasion of Biological Matter into Capillaries Abstract: Biological active materials such as bacterial biofilms and eukaryotic cells thrive in confined microspaces. Here, we numerically show that combining growth dynamics with their intrinsic activity cells can use confinement as a mechanical guidance to achieve distinct modes of collective invasion. We assess the dynamics of the growing interface and classify these collective modes of invasion based on the activity of the cells. While at small and moderate activities the active material grows […]...

下記セミナーを開催します。外部の研究者や学生の方もご自由にご参加ください。 第141回機能創成セミナー Date: October 26th 2018, 10:30-11:30am Place：基礎工D棟セミナー室（D404） Presenter: Ian A. Sigal, PhD Affiliation: Department of Ophthalmology, University of Pittsburgh Title: A Micro-Structure Based Understanding of Eye Mechanics Abstract: The eye is a remarkable complex organ. Although most people rarely think of the eye as a mechanical structure, forces and deformations play a central role in vision. Abnormal connective tissue architecture, and altered mechanical behavior of ocular tissues can compromise vision and lead to blindness. Unfortunately, for many eye conditions, the mechanisms underlying vision loss and the role of mechanics are still not completely understood, which complicates prevention and treatment. This is, in large part, due to the difficulty of assessing […]...
