Cells Webinar | Signaling Pathways in Cell Generation and Reprogramming
In this Webinar, the focus will be on the creation of multipotent cells by using extrinsic materials. Recently, multipotent cells can be generated by several different kinds of methods: forced expression of specific transcription factors, incorporating ribosomes into fibroblasts, infection of leprosy bacilli into adult Schwann cells, applying a cocktail of small-molecule compounds or cell-penetrating peptides to fibroblasts, etc. Though these cells have both advantages and disadvantages for use in basic research or clinical applications, we realize that even terminally differentiated cells possess the potential to be reprogrammed by extrinsic materials. Therefore, understanding the precise knowledge of the specific cellular and molecular signaling behind such reprogramming is a priority for the scientific community.
The following experts will be present and talk:
- Prof. Dr. Kunimasa Ohta, Department of Stem Cell Biology, Faculty of Arts and Science, Kyushu University, Fukuoka, Japan
- Dr. Arif Istiaq, Department of Stem Cell Biology, Faculty of Arts and Science, Kyushu University, Fukuoka, Japan
- Dr. Akisa Nemoto, Department of Physiology, School of Medicine, Keio University, Japan
- Prof. Dr. Chihiro Akazawa, Juntendo University Graduate School of Medicine, Intractable Disease Research Center, Tokyo, Japan
When? 10 February 2022 at 10:00am CET | 3:00am EST | 4:00pm CST Asia
