Spotlight on Science Meetings, Conferences and Events brings you information on the following event: Metabolism in Cancer and Stromal Cells Conference
This meeting will bring together researchers from cancer metabolism and stromal cell metabolism fields. This event will provide an opportunity to discuss the latest findings in those fields. These discussions will stimulate new ideas and impact the field by introducing novel concepts and experimental approaches.
The metabolism of cancer cells and recently also of stromal cells (endothelial cells, immune cells, fibroblasts) have emerged as critical hallmark in the (patho)physiology of organs in healthy and diseased tissue. Evidence indicates that metabolism not only co-determines the differentiation and function of cells, but it also contributes to the pathogenesis of cancer, diabetes and inflammatory diseases.
With this international meeting we will focus on how cancer and stromal cells metabolically communicate and how their specific metabolism impacts disease development and progression. These insights into cellular metabolism also offer novel therapeutic opportunities for malignant, metabolic, or inflammatory disease.
