Microscopic mechanisms for formation of complex cellular hierarchies

Identify the microscopic mechanisms that govern the formation of complex hierarchical structures in eukaryotic cells, including how cytoskeletal and membrane systems coordinate to build functional architectures.

Background

Cells exhibit intricate hierarchical organization from molecules to organelles to networks, yet the rules that govern their construction are poorly defined.

Deciphering these mechanisms would illuminate fundamental principles of morphogenesis, organization, and disease.
