Cellular Plasticity: Reprogramming, Regeneration and Metaplasia (J3)

Summary of Meeting:
Traditionally, differentiated cells were thought to be post-mitotic. However, now we know mature cells in diverse tissues can reprogram, re-enter the cell cycle, and spawn other lineages (e.g., they revert back to stem cells or adopt other identities). The scientific and health implications are substantial. For one, cellular plasticity might be harnessed to regenerate damaged tissue (e.g., insulin-secreting cells, liver, gut), but repeated reprogramming events – as cells respond to inflammation/injury – can also cause tissue derangement (metaplasia) that predisposes to cancer. Furthermore, cancer cells can harness such plasticity mechanisms to subvert therapy. Thus, defining the mechanisms that allow mature cells to switch identities holds great promise for understanding disease pathogenesis and developing new therapies. This conference gathers the diverse, dynamic field of plasticity/reprogramming together for the first time with the aim of understanding if similar mechanisms underlie plasticity in diverse organs and organisms. The hypothesis is that cellular reprogramming occurs via evolutionarily conserved cellular processes as fundamental to a multicellular organism as apoptosis. Specifically, the conference aims to: 1) Elucidate mechanisms of plasticity in diverse adult tissues; 2) Explore plasticity’s evolutionary context; 3) Elucidate its role in metaplasia/cancer; and 4) Investigate how it can be harnessed therapeutically.

Meet the Editors (Joint)
Scientific progress depends on efficient mechanisms to select, quality control and share rigorous and reproducible research. This panel discussion aims to give an overview on the approaches different scientific publishers and journals take to accomplish these goals and will give ample space for discussion between editors and researchers on how the editorial and peer review process can be reformed to assess both the interest of the claims made and the reliability, reproducibility and integrity of the experimental data. The following aspects will be covered in particular: 1) the peer-review process put to test: current perspectives. 2) Data reproducibility and research ethics. 3) Data accessibility and pre-print servers. 4) Open Access or Open Science?

Panel: Nomenclature in Cell Plasticity: "Plasticity," "Dedifferentiation," "Transdifferentiation," "Reprogramming," "Reversion," "Paligenosis" – Can We Agree What These Mean?
This session will seek to examine the utility of critical terms relating to cellular plasticity through an open discussion among the panelists and the audience. Particular topics will include: 1) What is dedifferentiation?; 2) What is transdifferentiation?; 3) Are more specific terms required to describe plasticity pathways?; and 4) What are the implications of terms such as metaplasia?
