DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this project is to have a scientific meeting that focuses on recent advances related to the identification and characterization of stem cell niches. Stem cell niches are the specialized microenvironments in each tissue where stem cells reside. These niches are thought to provide environmental signals that are critical for the maintenance of stem cells and which regulate their role in tissue homeostasis. Thus it is necessary to understand the function of stem cell niches in order to understand how stem cells are maintained throughout life, and how they maintain tissues. This will be an American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB) Summer Meeting, and will attempt to integrate recent advances related to stem cell niches from diverse systems including Drosophila, C. elegans, and mammalian hematopoietic, neural, and epithelial tissues. The major goal of this meeting is to bring together leading scientists who have made notable contributions to our understanding of stem cell niches, to integrate recent advances, and to promote cross-fertilization. While there are many meetings related to stem cell biology, there have not yet been any meetings focused specifically on stem cell niches. Nonetheless, there has been rapid recent progress in the identification and characterization of stem cell niches in diverse systems. Given the rapid progress in this area there is a need for a focused meeting that assembles the most prominent leaders in this area. By including the researchers who have most advanced our understanding of the environmental regulation of stem cell function in diverse systems the meeting will provide opportunities for cross fertilization and discussion that are absent or diluted at larger meetings.

描述（由申请人提供）： 该项目的目的是举办一场科学会议，重点是与干细胞壁ches的识别和表征有关的最新进展。干细胞壁ni是干细胞驻留的每个组织中的专门微环境。人们认为这些壁ni可以提供对维持干细胞至关重要的环境信号，并调节其在组织稳态中的作用。因此，有必要了解干细胞壁ches的功能，以了解干细胞在整个生命中如何保持，以及它们如何维持组织。这将是美国细胞生物学学会（ASCB）夏季会议，并将试图整合来自果蝇，秀丽隐杆线虫和哺乳动物造血性造血，神经，神经和上皮组织的最新进展。这次会议的主要目的是将主要的科学家汇集在一起​​，这些科学家为我们对干细胞壁ches的理解做出了显着贡献，融合最新进展并促进交叉施肥。尽管有许多与干细胞生物学有关的会议，但尚未有任何专门针对干细胞壁ni的会议。尽管如此，在不同系统中干细胞壁ches的鉴定和表征方面取得了迅速的进展。鉴于这一领域的进步迅速，需要举行重点会议，以组建该领域最杰出的领导者。通过包括我们对各种系统中干细胞功能环境调节的理解的研究人员，会议将为交叉施肥和讨论提供机会，这些机会在较大的会议上没有或稀释。
