DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Karsten Kruse\nAbstract: To understand the emergence o
 f spatiotemporal structures in biological systems remains a\nmajor challen
 ge to this day. Self-organization of a limited number of different agents 
 has\nbeen found to account for structure formation in sea shells\, slime m
 old aggregation\, and\nbee colonies. On a subcellular level\, however\, th
 e importance of self-organization of\nproteins and other molecules for for
 ming vital structures is still debated. In this talk\, I will\ndiscuss rec
 ent experimental and theoretical advances indicating that self-organizatio
 n\nplays an important role in cellular processes like cell division and ce
 ll locomotion.\nSpecifically\, I will discuss in detail patterns formed by
  the Min proteins in the bacterium\nEscherichia coli in vivo and in vitro.
  These patterns constitute an important step in the\nselection of the cell
  division site. I will then indicate how similar processes can account for
 \ncytoskeletal polymerization waves observed in animal cells and speculate
  about their role\nfor cell locomotion. Together these results show how ph
 ysical concepts and methods can\nhelp us to understand vital cellular proc
 esses.
