Halls G-H - Blood Journals Studio (San Diego Convention Center)
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are pivotal in the production and lineage determination of blood cells, maintained by an intricate network of interactions within the bone marrow (BM) niche. Disruption of this tightly regulated environment leads to hematopoietic deregulation and the development of hematological malignancies. Recent advances in both in vitro and in vivo techniques have paved the way for innovative diagnostic and therapeutic strategies targeting hematological malignancies within their microenvironment. 

The Poster Walk will showcase the latest high-impact research (featured in the posters) on the HSC niche, highlighting both basic research and clinical implications. It will provide a valuable platform for the exchange of knowledge and ideas, promoting greater understanding and collaboration within the ASH community as well as raising awareness and stimulate interest in this often under-represented but crucial area of hematology.

Join us in the Blood Studio located in the main Poster Hall for this in-person poster walk hosted by ASH’s Blood Neoplasia journal.
