Title : Collective chiral behaviors of multicellular systems

Abstract :
Most animals have systematic left-right asymmetry in their bodies and organs. Their chiral property should be originated from the organization of the chirality of their constituents. However, the mechanisms of how chiral information is brought from the molecular to the cell, tissue and organ scales are largely unresolved. To address this question, we experimentally study the dynamical chiral behaviors of epithelial cell colonies and provide a theoretical understanding of how the chiral behaviors at the multicellular level arise from the cellular-level chirality.
