宇宙における生命:ありうる多様な物質、環境、機能 / Life in Universe: Diversity in the building blocks, environments, and biological functions

オーガナイザー:薮田 ひかる(広島大学)、鈴木 志野(JAXA 宇宙科学研究所/理化学研究所)

Our scientific understanding on life on Earth has been remarkably improved since the beginning of molecular biology in 1950s. On the other hand, we do not know what "Universal Life" is, as Earth-life is the only life we know of, for now. In order to determine the true definition of life, it is necessary to unveil the origin and evolution of life in space and to investigate habitability of planets other than Earth. This session will address the diversity of possible building blocks of life, environments, and biological functions on Earth and planets by integration of the latest researches in geochemistry, microbiology, bioscience, and space explorations.

幹細胞・オルガノイド生命科学の衝撃 / Promise and Impact of Stem Cell and Organoid BioMedical Science

オーガナイザー:武部 貴則(大阪大学)、佐藤 俊朗(慶應義塾大学)

The burgeoning fields of Stem Cell Research and Organoid Technology are paving the way toward unparalleled insights into previously inaccessible facets of biomedical science. Our symposium, by weaving together advanced molecular biology platforms, will feature innovative research directions that illuminate fundamental biological principles through the lens of stem cell and organoid research. These emergent technologies serve as pivotal tools to bring the future trajectory of biomedical science into new dimensions.

再定義される翻訳研究の常識 / Redefining the conventional view of translation

オーガナイザー:田口 英樹(東京科学大学)、松本 有樹修(名古屋大学)

The common view of translation is transforming drastically. Translation dynamics are highly diverse and flexible, and gene expression regulation at the level of translation contributes much more to cellular processes than expected. Disruption or perturbation of such regulatory systems is associated with human health and disease. This symposium aims to share the current status of translation dynamics with researchers that challenge the conventional view.

お休み生物学: 立ち止まる生物の謎に迫る / Kick-back Biology: Unraveling the Mysteries of Biological Standby

オーガナイザー:砂川 玄志郎(理化学研究所)、本城 咲季子(筑波大学)

Kick-back Biology examines life’s standby modes, such as hibernation, sleep, and various dormancies. This symposium unveils the principles and molecular details of these pauses, highlighting organisms’ adaptive responses. We aim to explore life’s intentional interruptions and continuations. While our topics may be about ‘kicking back,’ we urge attendees not to kick back and to stay engaged and reflect deeply throughout the session.

クロマチン・ランドスケープ:ゲノム機能制御の新境地を切り開く / Chromatin Landscapes: Charting new frontiers in genome regulation

オーガナイザー:大川 恭行(九州大学)、胡桃坂 仁志(東京大学)

About 40 trillion of cells that make up the body have the same blueprint (genetic information) but produce different organs in humans. This is accomplished by chromatin landscape, which emerges as vital orchestrators of genome function. The aim of this symposium is to shed light on the latest advancements and insights surrounding chromatin landscapes, offering a comprehensive exploration of their pivotal role in genome regulation.

ASBMB-MBSJ合同シンポジウム:発生や疾患を制御する機能性RNA / ASBMB-MBSJ joint symposium: Functional RNAs in development and disease

オーガナイザー:岩崎由香(理化学研究所)、斉藤典子(がん研究会がん研究所)

RNA is a biomolecule capable of exhibiting a wide range of functions through its structure and/or modifications. This symposium, held in conjunction with the Australian Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB), will feature researchers from both Australia and Japan. They will introduce the mechanisms by which various properties of RNA contribute to the suppression of transposons, and transcriptional and epigenomic regulation in development, cancer, and neurological disorders. Through these latest studies, we aim to deepen the discussion on the potential of functional RNAs.

新しい視点と技術で解き明かす人生100年時代の「老い」 / Unraveling the Mechanisms of Aging with New Perspectives and Technology

オーガナイザー:佐田 亜衣子(九州大学)、三浦 恭子(熊本大学)

Aging is a gradual decline in physiological functions over time. As aging progresses, tissues and cells exhibit characteristic biochemical changes known as the hallmarks of aging. However, the roles of these molecules in diverse species and organs, and how these factors contribute to aging in the organism as a whole, remain to be elucidated. This symposium will integrate new ideas and cutting-edge technologies on the biology of aging and discuss potential intervention strategies for healthy aging.

挑戦的な繁殖戦略を駆動するゲノム進化原理 / The genomic basis of "exploratory" reproductive strategies.

オーガナイザー:赤木 剛士(岡山大学 )

Living organisms have established various reproductive systems to maintain genetic diversity within a species. Some lineages have recurrently evolved more adaptable reproductive strategies via scraping and rebuilding the mechanisms once established. Here, with a broad perspective on the evolution of life forms, we will discuss the basis of genomic dynamics that trigger such "exploratory" evolution of reproductive mechanisms, which continually update existing conventional systems.
