Interdisciplinary Characterization of Biological Systems that Control Cell Proliferation, Differentiation, Migration or Apoptosis (PDMA).

We're excited to invite you to the Society for Fractones' second Workshop!

The first workshop was exciting! We brought together researchers from biology, computer science, mathematics, complex systems, and philosophy with a shared desire to understand PDMA control. Researchers spent five days in the Côte des Légendes, combining work with pleasure. They enjoyed the local food and drink, and they explored the region's stunning scenery. Unleash your curiosity and immerse yourself in the fascinating world of fractones at the Society for Fractones' second Workshop.



Scope
The construction of an organism (development) and its plasticity, i.e. its adaptability to changes in its environment throughout adulthood, can lead to both health and disease. Generation, Regeneration and Degeneration are based on a complex -hitherto unknown- interplay between cell proliferation, differentiation, migration and apoptosis (PDMA).

The outcome of PDMA regulation throughout life will be predominantly the body maintenance and evolution. However, a PDMA dysregulation may be associated with diseases as diverse as cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, or multiple other diseases occurring in animals and humans. In response to challenges of the environment, the accurate response of an animal is usually adaptation. Otherwise, the disease installs, or the death occurs.

Similar PMDA regulations exist in all of the multicellular eukaryotic lineages, such as metazoans, but also in land plants, red, green and brown algae as well as fungi. They are based on complex, finely-tuned, glycan-glycan and glycan-protein interactions

Coming to Kerlouan, you will board to a scientific excursion that will lead you to encompass your own field of study. You will immerse into a multidisciplinary approach aiming to answer the question of PDMA regulation. Biologists, mathematicians and philosophers already subscribed to attend this international meeting.

Participate with us to unravel the basic mechanisms and principles underlying PDMA regulation. Your work will contribute to the advance of science. Together, we will synergize to pioneer the basic research that will, in turn, provide insights into potential applications for a healthy life.
