Neural Stem Cells in Development and Disease
Date: 7th – 10th February 2010
Location: Wiston House, Steyning, West Sussex, UK
Organisers: Silvia Marino and Kate Storey
This inter-disciplinary meeting brought together clinicians investigating cancers and developmental defects of the CNS and researchers working on the regulation of neural progenitor cells in invertebrate and vertebrate contexts.
The Workshop aimed to define similarities/differences between cellular and molecular mechanisms regulating neural progenitor cells in developing, adult and cancerous tissue and to increase understanding of how cancer stem cells and neural developmental defects arise.
