2SLA "Protein Fibers" Generate Voluntary and Spontaneous Hierarchies and Adaptations: "Health Emergence Science" from Biophysics

Wed. Nov 15, 2023 8:50 AM - 11:20 AM Room L (Conference Room 133+134 (Bldg. 1, 3F))

Organizers: Atomi Yoriko (Tokyo Univ. of Agric. & Tech.)、Iwaki Mitsuhiro (NICT)

Fumio Osawa, founder of the Biophysical Society, insightfully observed that the essence of life is "voluntary and spontaneous". The system principle that has evolved is form-dependent dynamics. Although we can raise issues from pathology, we are far from elucidating the "health principle" that allows us to live a 120-year lifespan. This symposium will explore the way to extend the principle of autonomy and spontaneity of life, which is emerged by self-association of protein fibers and led to adaptation by molecular chaperones, from molecules and cells to the physical and mental problems of human beings. We advocate health emergent science from biophysics.
