Towards in vivo optomechanical control of actomyosin — •Stephan Grill — BIOTEC, Technische Universität Dresden

In the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, actomyosin-based active tension and active torque generation drive morphogenetic processes such as cell polarization and left/right symmetry breaking. I will report on our ongoing activities towards perturbing and remote-controlling active tension and active torque by light.
