 her-Friedrich-WiSe2023.pdf).</p>  <p><strong>Abstract</strong>: Just like
  liquid droplets\, cells exhibit a surface tension. In droplets\, surface 
 tension stems from interfacial tension associated to the boundary of diffe
 rent phases. However\, cellular surface tension corresponds to a mechanica
 l tension in a thin layer of a biopolymer network at the outermost surface
  of cells. The tension in this network is generated by active processes an
 d is based on the non-equilibrium nature of this living system. I will exp
 lain concepts and data of how cells generate this active surface tension. 
 Furthermore\, I will give examples of how cells use this actively regulate
 d surface tension in biological processes such as cell division and tissue
  morphogenesis.</p>  <p><strong>Short bio</strong>: As of 2023: Center fo
