Synthetic materials inspired by embryo development
proposé par
André Estevez-Torres
du Laboratoire Jean Perrin, CNRS and Sorbonne Université, Paris.
Living embryos can be seen as complex materials that change their shape and composition following physico-chemical rules. I will show a strategy to build synthetic materials whose composition and shape change following mechanisms inspired by embryo development. To do so I will introduce two types of systems: DNA molecular programs that self-organize in space and time through reaction and diffusion [1], and active gels made of cytoskeletal proteins that autonomously generate forces and mouvement [2]. After investigating the properties of these systems separately, I will show that they can be coupled chemo-mechanically displaying complex behaviors reminiscent of living systems [3].
