We are pleased to host the third meeting on Stem Cell Biology, which will begin with dinner and a 7.30 pm session on Wednesday, October 7, 2015 and end with departure after breakfast on Sunday, October 11. The meeting will focus on the basic biology of stem cells and the dynamic interactions between stem cells and their microenvironment or niche. Topics will include the mechanisms controlling stem cell proliferation, differentiation, pluripotency and reprogramming. Emerging concepts about the regulation of multipotent cells during early embryo development, tissue regeneration and tumor progression will be emphasized.
