'Emergent properties of the cytoskeleton: molecules to cells', Sant Feliu de Guixols, Spain
The cytoskeletal field is developing rapidly. As well as new discoveries in how proteins are assembled, regulated and interact to contribute to cell behaviour and function, there are new developments in imaging technology and chemical biology. These new developments are pushing forward the frontiers of research on the cytoskeleton and cell behaviour.
The cytoskeleton is a cellular structure, sometimes likened to a scaffolding or skeleton, which part of a cell that is enclosed within the cell membrane. The cytoskeleton is found in both plant and animal cells.
Cytoskeletal research often works as a paradigm for the development of new imaging techniques and experimental approaches, because of its well characterized cellular structure.
This conference will address the best and the newest developments in this research area. It brings together researchers from a broad range of scientific backgrounds, but with a common aim of understanding the basic properties of the cytoskeleton, and how it is organised and utilised by cells and tissues.For further information, please visit:
