Abstract

The meeting covered a plethora of rapidly evolving approaches and areas, such as organoid cultures modeling tissues and organs; stem cell-specific metabolites revealing new signaling pathways; single-cell technologies discovering new cell types and exploring stem cell niche interactions; novel methods studying stem cells in aging and cancer; lineage-tracing experiments exploring cell plasticity of tissues before and after injury; epigenetic studies illuminating cell reprogramming; new protocols improving cells for regenerative purposes; and several other timely and exciting topics.
