Navigating the cell: How motors function in vivo

Abstract

The Company of Biologists Workshop entitled 'Navigating the Cell: How Motors Function in vivo' was held in March 2014 at Wiston House in Steyning, West Sussex, UK. The meeting was an opportunity for a diverse group of experts in the biology and physics of cytoskeletal dynamics, and molecular motors to come together in a setting that promoted scientific interactions and the development of new collaborations. Here, we summarize the highlights of the meeting, one of which was the unique organizational principle that promoted cross-fertilization of ideas and approaches among the participants. © 2014.
