Meeting/Workshop
Stem Cell Dynamics Throughout Life: From Development to the Adult
August 29 - 31, 2018
Basel (Switzerland)
INTRODUCTION
We invite you to an exciting international meeting covering the latest findings on stem cells in different organs and organisms during development and in the adult. Topics will include development, stem cell niches, tissue homeostasis and how stem cells respond to aging, injury or disease states. The meeting is co-organised by the Basel Stem Cell Network (BSCN) and Neurex.
