EMT has been recognised over the past two decades as an essential, highly regulated and often-employed mechanism in normal embryological development, used as a prelude to migration of epithelial-derived cells in morphogenesis. Suggestions that EMT may also play an important role in carcinoma metastasis have recently matured, with high-level reports documenting the progression-like consequences of EMT in various cancer systems. The production of fibroblastoid cells from epithelial precursors in fibrotic diseases has been recognised as bearing the hallmarks of EMT . ... [Information of the supplier]
The goal of the meeting is to bring together researchers interested in various aspects of cell death, inflammation and immunity in animals and plants, with a particular focus on the mechanisms that link cell death with the immune response. The meeting is organized in the context of the Collaborative Research Center 670 (CRC670) “Cell-autonomous Immunity” (speaker: Martin Krönke). CRC670 is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and is strongly supported by a community of immunologists in Cologne and Bonn aiming at understanding cell-autonomous immune response in plant and animal. ...

On behalf of the board of the German Society for Immunology (DGfI), we are delighted to invite you to participate in our 47th Annual Meeting to be held in Erlangen from 12-15 September 2017. The Huguenot town of Erlangen, a modern baroque city, where ancient charm meets innovative ideas, is in the heart of the Nürnberg Metropolitan Region. Erlangen hosts one of the oldest and most charming outdoor beer festivals and is home to the Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen-Nürnberg and high-tech ventures such as Siemens Healthineers, the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits (known for its invention of the MP3), and the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light. Erlangen with a long tradition in basic and clinical immunology has developed under former DGfI presidents, Joachim Kalden and Martin Röllinghoff, into an internationally recognized research center. More than 50 groups in 13 independent clinics and departments at the University Hospital Erlangen and the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg are part of the interdisciplinary research center „Medical Immunology Campus Erlangen “(MICE). The extramural funding from the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) ranks number 2 in Germany and includes 5 collaborative research groups focusing on B Cells (TRR 130), resolution of inflammation” (SFB 1181), microbial effectors (SFB 796), inflammatory bowel diseases (KFO 257), and osteoimmunology (SPP 1468). Additionally, there are 3 doctoral training groups with research topics in adaptive immune responses (GRK1660), B cells (GRK-TRR130), and inflammation (GRK-SFB 1181). The 47th Annual Meeting will take place at the Heinrich-Lades-Halle located in the center of Erlangen just a few minutes from the main railway station, hotels, and restaurants. The highlight of the 2017 meeting will be the celebration of the 50th birthday of the DGfI. To salute this special occasion, the organizing committee will compile an exciting scientific program highlighting current research topics in basic and translational immunology in plenary sessions, main symposia, and workshops. A poster exhibition “50 years DGfI-50 discoveries” and a Festschrift will commemorate the history of our society and the highlights of Immunology in Germany. We will finish with an unforgettable birthday party on the last evening of the congress. We cordially invite everyone to submit abstracts in the spring of 2017 and to join us in Erlangen for this exciting event. All Erlanger immunologists are looking forward to welcoming you to our city with the charm of a small baroque town. We hope to make this special meeting a memorable event! ...
