Fusion Conferences

Neural development continues throughout life in the mammalian brain. This conference will bring together leaders from diverse fields, such as embryonic cortical development, adult neurogenesis, patient-derived stem cell-based 2D and 3B brain organoid disease modelling, direct reprograming and transplantation to discuss recent advances and remaining gaps in the understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms regulating neural stem cell activity, neural fate specification and functional significance of circuitries modified by the addition of new neurons in health and diseases.

The past ten years have seen an explosion of information regarding stem cells (SCs) within the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, due to an improved ability to identify SCs, follow their fates, and manipulate them in vitro. The next frontier in the field of GI stem cell biology is understanding the role that dysregulated ISC behavior plays in the etiology of numerous diseases, and conversely, the impact of GI diseases on proper SC function. This meeting will bring together a diverse group of investigators to discuss topics such as how the environment of the esophagus, stomach, small intestine and colon impacts SC behavior in healthy and diseased states, how SC behaviour and the niche differ along the proximal-distal axis of the GI tract, and the strengths of various models for investigating the relationship between gastrointestinal SCs, the niche, and the onset and propagation of disease states.
