Contraction driven cell crawling
The two main active processes allowing cells to crawl are myosin contraction and actin polymerization. We first show that these two mechanisms are complimentary allowing cells to handle such fundamentally different tasks as pushing and pulling. Then we focus on contraction dominated crawling involved, for instance, in motility initiation, and show that this mechanism ensures an almost optimal trade off between efficiency and cost.
The audience is composed of people with rather heterogeneous backgrounds including specialists in solids, fluids, granular flows, statistical physics... so the idea is to keep your talk understandable by people not necessarily working in your field... The seminar time slot runs from 11am to noon so the best is to make the talk last around 45 minutes to leave some time for discussion.
