Fusion Conference – 3rd Cell Death, Cell Stress & Metabolism Conference

Posted by Gemma Wright, on 27 August 2021

The interplay between cell death, cell stress and metabolism is crucial for sensing danger posed by pathogens but also in the response to pathogen-independent tissue damage. These processes are almost invariably associated with inflammation which can result in several different outcomes: (i) induction of an effective immune response to the infective agent; (ii) increased tissue damage; and (iii) and the immunological response that is mounted to response to them. At this conference we will discuss the basic biological principles that govern cell death, cell stress and metabolism. We will also cover how cellular stress and alterations in metabolism influence the cellular death programs such as apoptosis, necroptosis, ferroptosis and others. Importantly, this conference aims to become the go-to forum at which the most current and up-to-date therapeutic avenues in the fields of cell death, cell stress and metabolism will be presented and discussed.
