Aim & Content
Dear Colleague;
Oxidative stress dependent calcium ion (Ca2+) entry is an important second messenger that has been shown to be responsible for a number of signal transduction pathways including neuronal excitability, metabolism, cell proliferation, and cell death. Different types of Ca2+ channels, such as voltage gated calcium channels (VGCC) and chemically gated calcium channels, likely play an important role in the diseases such as cardiovascular, diabetes, cancer and pain. Apart from the VGCC and chemically gated channels, one family of Ca2+ channels comprises transient receptor potential (TRP) cation channels and they were first described in photoreceptors of Drosophila flyers. As potential target on treatment of many diseases, activation and inhibition mechanisms of most TRP channels haven’t clarified yet.
Since 2006, a biennale oxidative stress, calcium signaling and TRP channels congress has been organizing by BSN Health, Analyses, Innovation, Consultancy, Organization, Agriculture, Industry and Trade Limited Company, Göller Bölgesi Teknokenti, Isparta, Turkey (http://www.bsnsaglik.com.tr/). The congress is regularly organized unique TRP channel congress on the world. The abstracts of the oral presentation were published in Journal of Cellular Neuroscience and Oxidative Stress (http://dergipark.org.tr/jcnos).
We have since received a considerable amount of positive feedback encouraging us to organize the eight congress, with even greater international participation. We have therefore decided to proceed with the organization of the ”8th World Congress of Oxidative Stress, Calcium Signaling and TRP Channels”. It will be held between 165 and 8 September 2023 in Isparta Suleyman Demirel University, Türkiye
One of the most important aims of this Congress is to bring scientist from all around the world to Turkey, a country which has long served a role as a bridge between two continents. With this purpose we have invited scientists from abroad who are specialists in the topics of the Congress.
We have specific programs for social activities such as city tour and visit traditional restaurants (please see web page of the congress for the details). Please be informed that Isparta is served by Antalya (AYT) Airport (120 km from Antalya). We will arrange for picking up you through buss shuttle.
We look forward to seeing you in Antalya in September 2023.
