Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Organs consist of cells. I would like to elucidate formation process of chiral structures of organs using cell-based mathematical models of tissues. Hearts in the early development of birds and mammals are known to form chiral structure, a helical loop. I showed that a simple straight tube of the initial heart makes a helical loop by (1) bending accompanying ventral protrusion of the tube and (2) dividing cells perform a chiral behavior, that is, counter-clockwise rotation of two daughter cells. The problem of cardiac looping made progress to a problem that cell chiral behavior is an intrinsic cell properties or caused by asymmetric circumference of the animal body.
