PROJECT ABSTRACT In this revised application we propose to bridge cutting-edge topics in biology and physics in order to create a new physical picture of collective cellular migration in lung health and disease. The projects and cores of this program focus upon a common central hypothesis: In collective behaviors of epithelial cells in the lung, di- verse physical factors and their multiple biological effects are brought together by the concept of the glass transition as described on a unifying jamming phase diagram. Each project director is a leader in his or her respective discipline. Project 1 (Weitz) will investigate basic physics at the level of the single cell in isolation (0-D), in single-file migration (1-D), and in transition to 2-D behavior. This project will emphasize the unifying role of cell volume regulation in mechanical determinants of cell jamming. Project 2 (Fredberg) will investigate basic physics of jamming in monolayers (2-D) and cell clusters (3-D). Project 3 (Drazen) will investigate the role of jamming in the bronchial epithelium as a basic mechanisms of asthma pathogenesis. Core A (Butler, Zaman, Krishnan) will support and develop novel technologies for imaging of physical forces. Core B (Weiss) will seek common molecular network motifs that span projects and characterize regions of the jamming phase diagram. Core C (Fredberg) is administrative. Together, the interdisciplinary projects and cores of this pro- gram project combine physics and biology at a level that is realized only rarely. The projects are unified by a central hypothesis that is radical, mechanistic and testable, and that has the potential to impact basic under- standing of lung injury and repair.

项目摘要 在这个修订后的应用程序中，我们建议将生物学和物理学的前沿主题联系起来，以创建一个 肺部健康和疾病中细胞集体迁移的新物理图景。本项目的项目和核心 计划重点关注一个共同的中心假设：在肺上皮细胞的集体行为中，二- 玻璃的概念将各种物理因素及其多种生物效应汇集在一起 统一干扰相图上描述的过渡。每个项目总监都是其所在领域的领导者 各自的学科。项目 1 (Weitz) 将研究孤立的单细胞水平的基础物理 (0-D)、单文件迁移 (1-D) 以及向 2-D 行为的过渡。该项目将强调统一 细胞体积调节在细胞干扰的机械决定因素中的作用。项目 2（Fredberg）将进行调查 单层（2-D）和细胞簇（3-D）干扰的基本物理原理。项目 3（Drazen）将调查 支气管上皮的干扰作用是哮喘发病的基本机制。核心A（巴特勒， Zaman、Krishnan）将支持和开发物理力成像新技术。核心B（韦斯） 将寻找跨越项目并表征干扰阶段区域的共同分子网络图案 图表。核心 C (Fredberg) 是行政性的。总之，这个专业的跨学科项目和核心 gram 项目将物理学和生物学结合到了很少能实现的水平。这些项目由一个统一 中心假设是激进的、机械的和可检验的，并且有可能影响基本的基础知识 肺损伤和修复的现状。
