Abstract:
The Joint Meeting commemorating the 25th anniversary of the International CCN Society (ICCNS) and the 5th anniversary of the Association for Research on Biosignaling and Communication (ARBIOCOM) will take place on December 13-17, 2025, in Nice, France. This multidisciplinary forum will bring together researchers in molecular and cellular biology, systems biology, translational medicine, and related fields to explore advances in intercellular communication and signal transduction. The program will include keynote lectures, thematic sessions, and attendee presentations spanning juxtacrine and paracrine interactions, extracellular matrix-mediated signaling with emphasis on CCN proteins, endocrine and neuroendocrine regulation, immune-modulatory circuits, extracellular vesicle biology, and systemic regulation by soluble factors. A special focus will address how dysregulated signaling drives cancer, musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, neurodegenerative, and developmental disorders. Sessions will encourage contributions using single-cell and spatial transcriptomics, dynamic proteomics, and systems-level approaches to map signaling dynamics in vivo. The meeting will also highlight pivotal role of the Journal of Cell Communication and Signaling (JCCS), the official ICCNS journal published by Wiley, as a leading platform for disseminating impactful research in biosignaling. This joint anniversary event will provide an international venue for advancing knowledge, fostering collaborations, and shaping the future of research in cell communication and signaling.
