Back to Basic Biology: Uncovering the Role of Inflammasomes in Health & Disease for Enhanced Understanding & Improved Therapeutic Targeting
Time: 10:00 am
day: Pre-Conference Day
Details:
This interactive discussion led session gathers thought leaders, expert researchers, and industry leaders to dive into the fundamentals of inflammasome biology and its implications for disease mechanisms to uncover therapeutic strategies. Join an interdisciplinary dialogue to ask your burning questions to a niche audience of inflammasome experts to tackle these scientific challenges head-on.
Hear the opinions of experts and collaboratively discuss:
- Investigate the role of inflammasome activation in disease progression, probing whether it’s a consequence or a causative factor
- Assess whether interrupting inflammasome signaling can effectively halt the cascade of inflammatory processes even after disease onset
- Delve into the intricate mechanisms of inflammasome biology and their impact on immune system homeostasis, shedding light on their role in inflammatory diseases
- Explore novel strategies to enhance the specificity and safety of inflammasometargeting drugs by leveraging insights into immune system regulation
- Compare inflammasome activation in acute versus chronic inflammatory conditions, and its implications for therapeutic strategies
- Differentiate inflammasome involvement in monogenic versus polygenic diseases, addressing challenges and opportunities in therapeutic targeting
