SUMMARY:Tuft Cells
DESCRIPTION:Tuft or brush cells were initially described by electron micros
 copy in the 1950s as a rare cell type in various mucosal epithelia. However
 , its function remained unknown for a long time. Only in the last dacade th
 is cell type has attracted much attention worldwide. Since then, these epit
 helial cells have been recognized as central players in a wide spectrum of 
 functional networks in physiology and disease. Tuft cells serve as a link b
 etween the microbiome, the nervous system, and the immune system, and play 
 a pivotal role in infectious diseases, including parasitic infections. They
  can also give rise to tumors and are even present in the thymus.\n\nThe sy
 mposium is the first international forum to enable cross-workgroup knowledg
 e exchange between many different research fields.\n\nFurther Information\n
 \nThe event is aimed at a professional audience. Registration ist required.
