38th annual meeting of the international society of experimental hematology

Abstract

The International Society of Experimental Hematology holds its annual meeting every northern summer. This year the meeting comprised of eight plenary sessions with distinguished invited speakers on in vivo imaging and tracking of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), HSC niches, epigenetic regulations of stem cells and regulation of stem cell fate, leukemogenesis, and mesenchymal stem cells. The small size of the meeting (300 attendees) permitted excellent discussion and face-to-face contacs between students, junior scientists and experts. Owing to the large number of keynote speakers, this report focuses on the most novel, unpublished data presented during the meeting. © 2009 Expert Reviews Ltd.
