28 June–3 July 2015, Andover, United States
Gordon Research Conference — Cell Contact and Adhesion 2015
The goal of this conference will be to focus the presentations and general discussions on how intercellular junctions respond to changes in tension and how such changes are conveyed to a cell’s interior to coordinate collective cell behaviors relevant to development (e.g., cell-on-cell migrations or intercellular intercalations required for tissue elongation) and disease (e.g., tumor invasion-front migrations). Participants from diverse backgrounds who do not frequently interact in other venues--ranging from biophysicists and biochemists to cell and developmental biologists--are invited to this meeting to achieve a more integrated "angstroms to tissue" view of cell contact and adhesion relevant to heath and disease.
