KITP Minisymposium on
The Role of Intercellular Calcium Signaling in Healthy and Diseased Tissues
November 13-14, 2003
Coordinator: P. Jung
Funding: NSF, NIH, Burroughs Wellcome Fund
Calcium signaling plays an important role in the regulation of numerous
cellular functions and the coordination of cellular functions in cell-layers.
While the first mini-symposium was focused mainly on intracellular calcium
signaling and the mathematical modeling, this minisymposium is mainly
concerned with intercellular calcium in healthy and diseased tissues.
Topics include
novel signaling mechanisms, including
the role of extracellular messengers and integrins,
role of calcium signaling for synaptic transmission, and
calcium signaling in cancer tissue.
