 On 23 October, the JSPS Stockholm Office held a colloquium titled "Current Concepts in Regulation of Metabolism, Cell Differentiation and Function" at the Nobel Forum in the Karolinska Institutet (KI). Planning for the event was mainly carried out by Prof. Toshio Suda, Keio University, and Prof. Lorenz Poellinger, KI. At the colloquium, JSPS Stockholm Office director Prof. Yoshiaki Fujii offered welcoming remarks and gave a brief introduction to the Office's programs, followed by presentations from six researchers from each the Japanese and Swedish sides. They addressed issues on the forefront of life sciences, particularly propagation and differentiation in cancer, neural, and hematopoietic stem cells as well as chromatin cell division mechanisms, cell visualization, and cell differentiation under oxygen tension. The colloquium was attended by some 70 Swedish and Japanese researchers and students, who engaged each other in a spirited exchange of views. Thus, the event offered an ideal opportunity for the young researchers to hone themselves as future science trailblazers. - JSPS Stockholm Office  |
