Myeloid cell diversity: From fundamental biology to disease states

The Keystone Symposia conference on Myeloid Cell Diversity (A324), held from January 29th to February 1st, 2024, at the Fairmont Banff Springs in Canada, focused on advancing our understanding of myeloid cell behavior in homeostasis and inflammation. Organized by Drs. Andres Hidalgo (Yale University, USA), Daniela F. Quail (McGill University, Canada), and Lai Guan Ng (Shanghai Immune Therapy Institute, China), the event emphasized key principles regulating myeloid cell functions and aimed to bridge gaps in the current understanding of myeloid diversity. The conference highlighted novel insights into the functional and developmental heterogeneity of myeloid cells, ranging from fundamental biology to their role in disease states such as cancer, cardiovascular conditions, and neurodegenerative diseases. It also fostered collaborations between established researchers, trainees, and new investigators, providing a platform for groundbreaking studies and fostering multi-disciplinary dialogue. A follow-up symposium will be held in Herrenhausen Palace, Germany, on March 3rd-6th, 2025.
