Mononuclear Phagocytes in Health, Immune Defense and Disease (D3)
In-Person Event
Apr 30 - May 04, 2017
Austin, Texas, USA
OVERVIEW
Mononuclear Phagocytes in Health, Immune Defense and Disease (D3) is organized by Keystone Symposia on Molecular and Cellular Biology and would be held during Apr 30 - May 04, 2017 at Hyatt Regency Austin, Austin, Texas, United States of America.
Mononuclear phagocytes (MNP) are immune cells that are uniquely equipped to sense and respond to environmental cues by promoting tissue homeostasis or initiating tissue repair and immunity. MNP also contribute significantly to tissue pathologies, and their manipulation holds considerable therapeutic potential.
Macrophages are established before birth and perform tissue-specific functions in organ development and homeostasis. Short-lived classical dendritic cells (DC) are specialized in triggering adaptive T cell immunity. Monocytes complement macrophages and DC as highly plastic cells, in particular during inflammation.
This conference aims to :
* Cover recent progress in the field, revealing novel and differential contributions of MNP in physiological processes, and identify critical knowledge gaps
* Stimulate scientific exchange, in particular between clinicians and researchers, to better translate findings from animal models into human settings and brainstorm regarding novel therapeutic intervention
* Develop novel conceptual frameworks for future studies of MNP in health and disease.
