The 47th Annual Meeting of the Molecular Biology Society of Japan

Organizer: Seiji Yamamoto (University of Toyama), Atsushi Enomoto (Nagoya University)

Vascular research has a long history, with a succession of cell biological and pathophysiological discoveries. On the other hand, perivascular cell research has a history of only about 10 years. We have been organizing symposium of perivascular cell research for nine years at the MBSJ, so we are the only evangelists of the history of perivascular cell research in Japan. In this symposium, it will be reconsidered the past decade of perivascular cell research and discuss the next decade. Aimed at a broad audience ranging from graduate students to senior researchers, the symposium will review the history and state-of-the-art research on perivascular cells and discuss in depth the future prospects of perivascular cell research.
