15D03 Receptor-Mediated Phenomena
OverviewReceptor mediated phenomena are important mechanisms by which cells communicate with their environment. In this session, we are seeking papers which examine a variety of receptor mediated phenomena, associated with such processes as cell adhesion and migration, cell-cell signaling, intracellular signaling, or tissue remodeling for example. Modeling and experimental approaches to examining receptor mediated phenomena are welcome.
