As multicellular vertebrates and mammals, humans possess cells that self-organize and function autonomously within a complex hierarchy of cellular and bodily systems. Experimental models using simpler organisms and proteins cannot fully capture the nuanced, dual-level dynamics of cells and bodies that underpin human-specific traits, including upright bipedalism and complex cultures. This symposium will explore perspectives that bridge regenerative medicine and mechanobiology, aiming to illuminate the dynamic interactions between the human body and its cells. By integrating insights from both basic and applied sciences, we aim to address unresolved challenges such as cell therapies for intractable diseases, fall prevention in the elderly, and advances in preventive medicine and health sciences.
