2SGA Pressure stimuli regulate the biological functions

Wed. Nov 15, 2023 8:50 AM - 11:20 AM Room G (Conference Room 232+233 (Bldg. 2, 3F))

Organizers: Morimatsu Masatoshi (Okayama Univ.)、Nishiyama Masayoshi (Kindai Univ.)

Various "pressure stimuli" such as hydrostatic pressure, osmotic pressure, and compressive force regulate a variety of biological functions from the molecular system to the tissue level. Recent studies have shown that pressure stimulus signaling elicits a wide range of cellular responses, providing new insights into biological and biomedical research areas. In this symposium, we will present and discuss recent studies on how pressure stimuli regulate biological function. We will also introduce the emerging field of Pressure Biology.
