Stem cells are linchpins of healthy organ renewal over an organism's lifetime, and stem cell dysfunction is a driver of regeneration, ageing and disease. This session spotlights emerging behaviors and strategies used by stem cells across organs and organisms.

Presentations:

• REGENERATION OF HEALTHY AND MALIGNANT HAEMATOPOIESIS: SIMILAR SIDES OF TWO VERY DIFFERENT COINS
  

  Plenary Speaker: Cristina Lo Celso, PhD (she/her/hers) – Imperial College London
• STEM CELL AGING: LOCAL AND SYSTEMIC EFFECTS
  

  Plenary Speaker: Heinrich Jasper, PhD (he/him/his) – Genentech
• REGULATION AND DIVERSITY OF ADULT NEURAL STEM CELLS
