'Cellular polarity: from mechanisms to disease', London, UK
16 April 2013 - 16 April 2013
United Kingdom
A workshop entitled 'Cellular polarity: from mechanisms to disease' will take place from 15 to 16 April 2013 in London, UK.
Cell Polarity refers to spatial differences in the shape, structure, and function of cells. Almost all cell types exhibit some sort of polarity, which enables them to carry out specialized functions. Dysregulation of cell polarity can cause development disorders and cancer. Although it is widely known that many cells are polarized, the mechanism by which this polarity is manifested is not very well understood.
The workshop will bring together an interdisciplinary group of scientists to speak about the latest progress in the field of cell polarity research, from basic principles to medical implications.For further information, please visit:
