Pablo Sáez (LaCàN, IMTech) Cells engage in continuous interactions with the extracellular matrix (ECM). This connection between cells and the ECM is responsible for various cellular and tissue responses, including tissue morphogenesis, repair, and organ development [1]. However, when unregulated, this cell-ECM connection can lead to pathological conditions. Among the factors influencing cell-ECM behavior, the
(DMAT, IMTech) A qubit is a two-state quantum-mechanical system. For example, the intrinsic angular momentum (spin) of an electron is such a system. It only takes two values when measured in arbitrary spatial direction, say by measuring the electrons deflection when passing by a magnetic field. The two corresponding spin-states are commonly referred to as
Agustín Moreno (Heidelberg University, Germany) Introduction The three-body problem is the dynamical system corresponding to three masses under gravitational interaction, as described by Newton’s law. It is one of those ancient conundrums that has withstood the ages, maturing like a complex wine. Its study goes back at least to the times of Newton, and its
