Title: The living cells in four dimensions

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5526670

The 47th international conference of the American Institute of Physics and the Societe Francaise de Chimie was held jointly at Gif Sur Yvette, France. The main focus of this interdisciplinary conference was the structure and function of the cell cytoskeleton. This has been a very active area of research in biology in recent, but it has received much less attention from physicists and physical chemists. Thus, it was thought appropriate hold this meeting to concentrate on biophysical issues in this area. Talks from the three main symposia are presented, as well as questions and answers following the presentations. The symposia were: general aspects of cell architecture and dynamics; properties of some cytoskeletal components (microtubules, microfilalaments, spectrin and other cytoskeletal membrane proteins); and physico-chemical model systems. Individual papers are cataloged separately.
