 pfl.ch/competition\nRecent research on Cell Competition has put forward th
 at cells are engaged in a ‘survival of the fittest’ battle throughout 
 life so that this general evolutionary principle applies not only between 
 species or individuals but extends to cells within most tissues of an orga
 nism. It is an important\, non-immune mechanism that detects and eliminate
 s cells that are different from their neighbours or are not well adapted t
 o their microenvironment. The basis of cell competition is the ability of 
 cells to directly monitor their neighbors\, and only recently have signali
 ng and effector mechanisms been identified. Cell competition shapes develo
 ping tissues\, stem cell populations\, and tumorigenesis. It has implicati
 ons for human disease and may present new opportunities for prevention and
  therapy.\n\nThis conference aims to bring together researchers from diver
 se fields\, who study competitive interactions between cells in various mo
 del systems including vertebrates. Registration is free but obligatory.
