Conference Description
Conference Description
Like a musical symphony, cellular processes are precisely coordinated. The master conductor, the DNA, orchestrates cell-to-cell interactions, growth, development and metabolism. Cells coordinate their movements with other cells. Energy is exquisitely stored and spent. Diverse molecules are sensed, opening and closing signaling pathways that drive the cell to perform its functions. Energy and molecules are controlled by membranes, and membrane bound vesicles are exchanged between cells, even at a distance. But cells can fail to follow the conductor’s cues, resulting in cancer, neurological disorders, and other diseases, often requiring drugs to get the cells back in tune. And much as a pianist stops on cue, cells go silent. Even programmed cell death is part of the great symphony we call life.

PSCB is also inviting you to participate in the upcoming poster presentation to be held during the annual scientific meeting. It's the perfect opportunity to connect with fellow researchers, learn about cutting-edge discoveries, and share ideas. Looking forward to a fruitful exchange of knowledge and collaboration!
