1SCA Cytoskeletal dynamics at the boundaries

Tue. Nov 14, 2023 9:00 AM - 11:30 AM Room C (Conference Room 221 (Bldg. 2, 2F))

Organizers: Shimamoto Yuta (NIG)、Miyazaki Makito (Kyoto Univ.)

Cells are compartmentalized by various planer boundaries. At each boundary (e.g., the plasma membrane, the nuclear envelope, and organelle surfaces), cytoskeletal proteins form filamentous meshworks and act dynamically to control cell physiology. Whereas the propensities of individual cytoskeleton and membrane components have been extensively studied, how they work together remains a mystery. This symposium gathers early-career researchers from diverse disciplines, aiming to illuminate the fascinating interplay at these biological boundaries. We envision that the symposium provides an opportunity to foster new ideas and questions that encourage young scientists and promotes exciting biophysics by crossing the interdisciplinary boundaries.
