Symposium

[S07] Cell Community for The Generation of Multifunctional Body-Surface

Fri. Jun 8, 2018 4:00 PM - 6:30 PM Room C (2F Zuiun)

Chairpersons : Fumiko Toyoshima (Kyoto Univ.) / Yoshiko Takahashi (Kyoto Univ.)

The body surface is essential for maintaining homeostasis under a wide range of environmental conditions, as well as a physiological alteration of the body. The mechanism by which the body surface acts as a multi-functional organ depends on the interactions between epithelial cells and diverse types of cells, such as mesenchymal cells, immune cells and pigment cells. This symposium focuses on a topic in vertebrate body-surface, and discusses the mechanisms that generate this dynamic organ and how it maintains homeostasis, and how it is declined in aging and diseases.
