[S01]Cross-scale Patterning in Reproduction[E]

Wed. Jul 16, 2025 9:30 AM - 11:30 AM JST
Wed. Jul 16, 2025 12:30 AM - 2:30 AM UTC
Room A(2F Large Hall)
Chairpersons:Fumio Motegi(Hokakido Univ.), Yukiko Yamashita(MIT Whitehead Institute, HHMI)
Co-hosted by:Grant-in-Aid for Transformative Research Areas (A), Mechanical Self-transformation of Living Systems
This symposium brings together leading scientists to explore the intricate molecular, cellular, and tissue patterning that underlies animal reproduction. Focusing on the dynamic processes governing gametogenesis and reproductive organs, the symposium will highlight recent advances in understanding how cell cycle, chromosome organization, cell polarity, mechanical forces, and environmental cues converge to control the spatial and temporal organization of reproductive systems.
