Abstract

摘要

There are many ways to study life, and one that is particularly appealing to physicists is regarding it as self-organized active soft matter that is away from equilibrium “just the right  way”. In  this  talk,  I  will  discuss  this  notion,  and  provide  a  number  of examples of how we can begin to put together simple systems - from basic ingredients that we fully understand - that could exhibit the kind of active behaviour we find in living systems. I will address the question of stability of a living system made of active components  and  propose  a  fundamentally  new  mechanism  in  which  a  competition between chemical signalling and cell division can determine the homeostatic conditions at the systemic level.
