Workshop “The hemato-vascular system: development and disease”
Posted by Catarina Vicente, on 1 July 2015
The hematopoietic and vascular systems are intimately linked from development to their diverse functions in adult life but have rarely been tackled together in scientific meetings. At least a subset of hematopoietic stem cells arise from specific embryonic endothelial cells. Other adult endothelial and sub-endothelial mesenchymal progenitor cells also contribute to maintain and regulate adult hematopoietic stem cells. On the other hand, pro-angiogenic hematopoietic cells can influence the growth and remodeling of blood vessels and critically contribute to pathological processes. In this workshop we will bring together world-leading experts in the intertwined hemato-vascular systems. Specific areas to be covered include the development of the hematopoietic and vascular systems, interactions of hematopoietic stem cells with their niche and signaling and regulatory pathways that critically control hemato-vascular interactions.
