Image-based inference of mechanics underlying epithelial morphogenesis - Kaoru Sugimura (University of Tokyo)

Measuring forces and mechanical properties of cells is essential to decipher the mechanical control of morphogenesis. We have formulated Bayesian force inference and mechanical parameter inference, both of which utilize image data of epithelial cells to infer physical quantities. These methods have been validated for accuracy and robustness through tests using synthetic and in vivo data. In this symposium, I will discuss how these methods have helped elucidate the mechanisms underlying cell rearrangement and cell division during epithelial morphogenesis.
