The Physiological Society, the Scandinavian Physiological Society, the Deutsche Physiologische Gesellschaft and the Federation of European Physiological Societies are delighted to be co-hosting a series of biennial joint meetings. The series will begin in London from 14 - 16 September 2018 at the QEII Centre in the heart of Westminster, and will subsequently be organised in Germany in 2020 and Scandinavia in 2022. The Europhysiology meetings will be the main meeting of the partner societies in these years. The Presidents of the partner societies commented, "We are delighted and excited about this historic initiative that will bring together the three biggest physiological societies in Europe and the Federation of European Physiological Societies in such a collaborative fashion. Science should be borderless and we hope this venture will appeal not only to members of our respective societies, but also the wider international physiological community." ...

Protein interactions are a common theme spanning molecular and cell biological processes in biomedicine and biotechnology that underpin many areas of research. The Irish Area Section of the Biochemical Society (IASBS) Annual Meeting for 2015 brings together a range of Irish and international speakers to stimulate fresh perspectives and novel avenues of research for the molecular biosciences. Integrated with the meeting will be a special workshop on Education and Outreach activities showcasing expertise and ideas, and following the meeting is a one day Young Life Scientists symposium organised by and for postgraduate and early stage researchers. Session Themes: Chromatin and gene regulation, Cell signalling, Proteins as biomaterials, Modelling of protein interactions, Translational perspectives, Education and outreach. ...

Tetraspanins are membranes proteins involved in every aspect of cell-cell interaction, including adhesion, fusion, differentiation and extracellular vesicle production. As the principal components of a type of membrane microdomain, they have therapeutic and diagnostic potential in a wide range of diseases and new imaging techniques are beginning to reveal the fine detail of these microdomains and their biophysical properties. In this Focussed Meeting, the roles of tetraspanins in cancer, development, infection and immunity will be highlighted. In addition, the role of tetraspanins in the formation and function of extracellular vesicles will be explored and an optional half-day workshop will be held, providing hands-on experience of vesicle purification and characterisation. ...
