DESCRIPTION:Morphogenesis is the process by which biological materials obtain their \nshape. Since shape is closely tied to function, this process must be highly \nrobust. I will investigate the role topological defects can play in this \nprocess, as well as the advantages of utilizing active stresses. I will show \ntheoretical and computational work, as well as experimental evidence \nfor defective morphogenesis in Hydra. Hydra is an organism with a \nremarkable ability to recover its form after mechanical damage. We will \nshow how this ability can be completely nullified by taking advantage of \nthe way in which shape and topology are coupled.
SUMMARY:Defect driven morphogenesis, when does it pay to be active?
