OutlineBack to top

Inter-organ communications are required not only for homeostasis of mature living creature but alsofor development. The aim of this symposium is to share the information of fundamental regulatory systems for homeodynamics conserved in vertebrates and to understand how we apply this information for understanding how we grow and keep our health.
