Shape meets polarity in Japan.

چکیده
A diverse group of developmental biologists who study cell polarity gathered in late March 2009 at the RIKEN Center for Developmental Biology in Kobe, Japan, for a symposium entitled ;Shape and Polarity'. The organizers, Masatoshi Takeichi, Fumio Matsuzaki, Hitoshi Sawa [RIKEN Center for Developmental Biology (CDB), Kobe, Japan] and Carl-Philipp Heisenberg (Max Planck Institute, Dresden, Germany), put together an engaging program that highlighted recent progress towards understanding the mechanisms of cell polarization during development, and the functions of cell polarity in shaping development.

The complexity of living: when biology meets theory
Introduction Like the previous meeting in this series in 2007 (Bronfman & Kapon, 2007), Spatial 2009: Overcoming Distance in Signaling Networks focused on understanding how cells and organisms are able to integrate signals in space and time. This broad topic was addressed by a multidisciplinary line up of speakers from diverse fields including cell biology, bioinformatics, systems biology, phys...
متن کاملCharacteristics of Anemone Active Regions Appearing in Coronal Holes Observed with Yohkoh Soft X-ray Telescope
Coronal structure of active regions appearing in coronal holes is studied by using the data obtained with the Soft X-Ray Telescope (SXT) aboard Yohkoh from 1991 November to 1993 March. The following characteristics are found; Many of active regions appearing in coronal holes show a structure that looks like a “sea-anemone”. Such active regions are called anemone ARs. About oneforth of all activ...
متن کاملDefining and Acting on Global Health: The Case of Japan and the Refugee Crisis
What counts as global health? There has been limited discourse to date on the ways in which country-level contexts may shape positioning in global health agendas. By reviewing Japan’s response to the refugee crisis, we demonstrate a clash between rhetoric and action on global responsibility, and suggest that cultural and historical factors may be related to the ways of perceiving and acting upo...
متن کاملInvestigation on Nose and Tail Shape Effects on Hydrodynamic Parameters in Autonomous Underwater Vehicles
Development of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) which meets the design constraints and provides the best hydrodynamic performance is really an important challenge in the field of hydrodynamics. In this paper a new profile is used for designing the hull of AUVs. The nose and tail profiles of an AUV using presented profile is designed such that it can properly consider the length constraints...
متن کاملAssessment of Mass Movement Hazard Zonation using the Japan Road Institute Method along the Chendar-Shahrak Road, Taleghan, Iran
One of the most important natural hazards which threatens the roads in mountainous regions are hillslope instabilities. This phenomenon is more frequent while the roads are under construction. Indentification of dangerous and susceptible areas to mass movement is especially important in order to implement some measures to control these natural phenomena.In this study mass movement hazard zo...
