2018 ASCB | EMBO Meeting is organized by American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB) and will be held from Dec 08 - 12, 2018 at San Diego Convention Center, San Diego, California, United States of America.
2018 ASCB Doorstep Meeting Overview :
This doorstep symposium features leaders in stem cell biology who have studied mechanisms by which stem cells respond to stress. One of the most interesting areas of stem cell biology concerns the mechanisms by which stem cells withstand stresses such as tissue injury. So far, most studies of stem cell function have been in normal tissues. Less is known about the mechanisms that maintain stem cells in damaged tissues. Replicative stress and the need to regenerate differentiated cells can deplete stem cells, requiring the induction of distinct mechanisms that ensure stem cell persistence beyond homeostasis.
The meeting will provide an overview of the field, with significant time allotted for discussion and interaction between audience and speakers, with the goal of inspiring the ACSB community to tackle the cell biology of stem cells and tissue regeneration.
Meeting Objectives :
• To provide a concise overview of stem cell biology, as it pertains to cell biology research and tissue regeneration
• To illustrate how studies of the cell provide insights into stem cell research
• To encourage stem cell researchers to consider cell biology in their research
• To provide attendees and speakers opportunities to interact with each other in order to provide a more intimate and in-depth experience
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
