Molecular and Cellular Basis of Regeneration and Tissue Repair
2010-09-26 - 2010-09-30
Portugal
Molecular and Cellular Basis of Regeneration and Tissue Repair
The EMBO Conference Series, "Molecular and Cellular Basis of Regeneration and Tissue Repair" will be held September 26-30, 2010 in Sesimbra, Portugal. The overall aim of the meeting is to bring together a unique blend of people working on different model systems all with the one goal of understanding why some species can regenerate and others cannot.
KEY TOPICS
- initiation of a regenerative response
- role of endogenous stem cells
- plasticity of the differentiated state
- signalling pathways in regeneration
- patterning
- size control and promotion of regeneration in a non-regenerative environment
This conference is unique as it is the only meeting that brings together scientists working on invertebrate and vertebrate models systems all with the one goal of understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying the unique phenomenon of regeneration.
Given the great interest and promise this subject holds in the field of regenerative medicine, it is of primary importance to continue to foster the cross-species, multi-disciplinary approach to study regeneration and to encourage collaboration between basic scientists and clinical scientists.
Deadline for registration and abstract submission is May 31.

Spain
The EMBO Meeting 2010
The EMBO Meeting 2010 will be held September 4-7, 2010 at the Palau de Congressos in Barcelona, Spain.
The meeting promises a vibrant platform for scientific exchange between leading researchers and young molecular biologists just starting out on their research paths.
