It has only recently been appreciated that the immune and
skeletal systems have major interactions. It is now well documented
that osteoclasts, which are important cellular mediators of
skeletal homeostasis, are derived from hematopoietic precursors
that also give rise to immune cells. In addition, numerous
cytokines that were first shown to regulate immune cell function
have also been demonstrated to regulate bone cells and influence
skeletal health. Conversely, products of bone cells appear critical
for the engraftment of marrow in bone, the normal development of
the hematopoietic and immune systems and provide niche for
long-term memory B and T cells.
In the past scientists involved in immune and bone cell
investigations have rarely interacted in a significant way as these
disciplines have developed independently and, for the most part,
remain separate. The conference will bring together leading
international scientists from both fields to interact so that new
collaboration can develop and more rapid progress in understanding
the relationships between these fields can be achieved. Short talks
will be selected from abstracts from the international community.
This conference will have a format to provide an environment of
maximum interaction and interchange through lectures, posters, and
open discussion.
