Symposium on interdisciplinary approaches to calcium and secretory dynamics in cells: mathematical models and experiments

Month: November 2009

Date: November 4--5

Name: Symposium on interdisciplinary approaches to calcium and secretory dynamics in cells: mathematical models and experiments

Location: Universidad de Cantabria, Santander (Spain).

Description

The principal aim of the symposium is to promote the exchange of ideas among researchers, experimentalists and theoreticians, interested in the field of calcium and secretory dynamics in cells. Our goal is to cover secretory cell prototypes with very different time scales: from panchreatic cells (alpha, beta), as example of slow secretory cells, to presynaptic terminals. Our idea is, on one hand, to show similarities and differences regarding the basic mechanisms responsibles of triggering secretion in these cells; on the other hand, we plan to analyse the framework of the mathematical models describing these cellular processes.
