Stem Cells and Regeneration in the Digestive Organs (X6) 2016
In-Person Event
Mar 13 - 17, 2016
Keystone, Colorado, USA
OVERVIEW
Stem Cells and Regeneration in the Digestive Organs (X6) 2016 is organized by Keystone Symposia on Molecular and Cellular Biology and would be held during Mar 13 - 17, 2016 at Keystone Resort - Keystone, Colorado, United States of America.
The gastrointestinal, pancreatic and hepatobiliary systems serve many essential functions, and stem cell (SC)-based tissue regeneration holds promise for treating diseases of the digestive system (DS). Recent advances in the field include differentiation of pluripotent SCs (ESCs, iPSCs) into intestinal, pancreatic and hepatic cells that may someday be used to replace defective cell types.
Specific aims of the meeting are to:
1) Facilitate characterization of the properties of DS SC in vivo
2) Address how the heterogeneity of the microenvironment influences the state and fate of SCs/PCs
3) Narrow the gap between findings of in vitro and in vivo identification
4) Explore applications for converting stem into functional DS cell systems to overcome disease.
