Nucleic Acid Immunity
in Health and Disease
September 22-26, 2019
Congressi Stefano Franscini
Monte Verità, Switzerland
At the 2019 conference held at the picturesque Congress Center in Monte Verità, researchers enthusiastically delved into the molecular mechanisms and functional consequences of the innate immune recognition of nucleic acids. The vibrant discussions highlighted breakthroughs in understanding how the immune system detects infectious microbes and the role of erroneous self-nucleic acid sensing in sterile inflammatory diseases. These exciting insights drive the development of groundbreaking treatments for infections, inflammatory diseases, and cancer.
