EMBO Workshop — Dying in self-defense: Cell death signaling in animals and plants

The goal of this edition of the workshop is to bring together researchers working in cell death in animals and plants to discuss the most recent developments in the field. The workshop will have a focus on the molecular and cellular mechanisms that mediate the different forms of cell death and on their effect on the tissue microenvironment. The meeting will provide a unique opportunity for interaction between researchers from both kingdoms, which will bring about new ideas about the common features and underlying mechanisms in cell death signalling and in the tissue responses it elicits both in health and disease.
