Mechanobiology of Proteins & Cells (Biophysical Society Thematic Meeting)

2013年03月12日 会合

Date: September 30 – October 3, 2013
Location: Salisbury Cove, Maine

Abstract Submission Deadline: June 10, 2013
Registration Deadline: July 8, 2013

Description:
　The Biophysical Society and the Mount Desert Island Biological Lab (MDIBL) are
　 co-organizing a meeting that will provide a forum for analysis of the
　mechanobiology of proteins and cellular structures by biophysicists,
　biochemists (inc. structural biologists) and physiologists.

　Fluctuations in extracellular osmolality elicit transmembrane water and solute
　fluxes that profoundly perturb cell structure, cytoplasmic composition and cell
　function. Sensors, transducers and regulators ameliorate the consequences of
　those perturbations by modulating the accumulation and release of selected
　solutes, the (macro) molecular composition of the cytoplasm and the skeletal
　structures of the cell.

　Mechanobiology is not only crucial for cell volume regulation but key to a wide
　range of physiological processes and involves sensing of forces such as osmotic
　pressure, membrane stretch, vibration and touch, areas that are included in the
　program.
