RUDN University hosted the first scientific and practical conference, "Functional Morphology of the Tissue Microenvironment: From Theory to Practice," dedicated to the memory of RAS Academician Mikhail Paltsev. It brought together leading researchers from Russia, China, and other countries, providing an important platform for discussing the translation of fundamental discoveries into personalized medicine.

At the opening, RUDN University First Vice-Rector and Vice-Rector for Research Andrey Kostin noted the key role of Academician Paltsev's scientific school and the relevance of integrating morphological research into modern healthcare. RAS Professor Ekaterina Paltseva spoke about the scientist's outstanding contribution to the development of molecular medicine.

Fundamental research as the basis for the medicine of the future

The conference focused on cutting-edge methods for studying living tissues: multiplex histology, digital spatial profiling, mitochondrial biology, and extracellular matrix ultrastructure. The presentations clearly demonstrated how the integration of cellular, molecular, and tissue-based approaches is revealing new insights into oncogenesis, fibrosis, aging, and resistance mechanisms.

Dmitry Atyakshin, Director of the RUDN University Scientific Research Center for Innovative Immunophenotyping Technologies and Doctor of Medical Sciences, highlighted the potential of multiplex histological methods in analyzing tissue microenvironments and addressing critical issues in functional morphology.

"Multiplex histological approaches hold great potential for discovering new patterns in the organization of biological tissues. The knowledge gained will aid in the development of innovative drugs and treatment protocols for a wide range of pathologies," emphasized Dmitry Atyakshin.

The center's leading researcher, Doctor of Biological Sciences Irina Chekmareva, presented research on the key role of specific cells, telocytes, in intercellular communication.

"Many serious diseases are associated with disruptions in cellular communication networks. Studying the role of telocytes and developing methods to correct disruptions in intercellular information exchange are crucial for understanding disease pathogenesis and discovering new therapeutic targets. Promising therapeutic approaches aimed at normalizing telocyte function have been developed, which promises to improve treatment outcomes for many pathologies," noted Irina Chekmareva.

International cooperation and new horizons

The active participation of Chinese colleagues from Xi'an Jiaotong University added particular significance to the event. They expressed interest in combining the technological advantages of the two countries to achieve breakthrough scientific results.

Professor Long, head of the Institute of Mitochondrial Biomedicine, presented specific proposals for the creation of a joint Russian-Chinese center for mitochondrial metabolism and tissue microenvironment at RUDN University.

Participants unanimously praised the inspiring atmosphere and high scientific level of the conference. This event will become a traditional platform for bringing together global scientific teams to achieve breakthrough results at the intersection of fundamental morphology and clinical practice.
