Abstract
On the 28th of June, 2024, we held a session focusing on bacterial motility at the International Union of Pure and Applied Biophysics Congress, held in Kyoto (IUPAB2024). This session was jointly chaired by Professor Seiji Kojima of Nagoya University and Associate Professor Matthew Baker of UNSW Sydney, highlighting significant advancements and discoveries in bacterial cellular mechanisms and motility, with six speakers each from different countries.
期刊介绍:
Biophysical Reviews aims to publish critical and timely reviews from key figures in the field of biophysics. The bulk of the reviews that are currently published are from invited authors, but the journal is also open for non-solicited reviews. Interested authors are encouraged to discuss the possibility of contributing a review with the Editor-in-Chief prior to submission. Through publishing reviews on biophysics, the editors of the journal hope to illustrate the great power and potential of physical techniques in the biological sciences, they aim to stimulate the discussion and promote further research and would like to educate and enthuse basic researcher scientists and students of biophysics. Biophysical Reviews covers the entire field of biophysics, generally defined as the science of describing and defining biological phenomenon using the concepts and the techniques of physics. This includes but is not limited by such areas as: - Bioinformatics - Biophysical methods and instrumentation - Medical biophysics - Biosystems - Cell biophysics and organization - Macromolecules: dynamics, structures and interactions - Single molecule biophysics - Membrane biophysics, channels and transportation
