SUMMARY:Extracellular matrix in health and disease: Structural dynamics, cell-cell communication, and microbiome crosstalk
LOCATION:Eretria, Greece
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:<h1>	Welcome</h1><p>	<strong>Dear colleagues and friends,&nbsp;</strong></p
 ><p>	<span>We are delighted to invite you to t</span>he FEBS Advanced Lectu
 re Course &lsquo;Extracellular matrix in health and disease: Structural dyn
 amics, cell&ndash;cell communication, and microbiome crosstalk&rsquo; hoste
 d in Eretria, Greece 22-27 September. This course will bring together inter
 national experts and early-career researchers to explore the extracellular 
 matrix (ECM) and its interplay with the immune system and tissue-associated
  microbiome &ndash; three interconnected biological systems that shape tiss
 ue homeostasis, regeneration, aging, and disease, yet are often studied ind
 ependently.</p><p>	Participants will be introduced to state-of-the-art conc
 epts and experimental approaches through a programme of introductory and ad
 vanced lectures, discussion sessions, and meet-the-expert activities delive
 red by leading scientists in ECM biology, immunology, microbiome research, 
 and regenerative biology. The scientific programme will address:</p><ul>	<l
 i>		Structure&ndash;function relationships of ECM macromolecules and their 
 roles in tissue assembly</li>	<li>		Mechanisms of ECM remodeling and the in
 fluence of matrix-modifying enzymes on immune regulation</li>	<li>		Microbi
 ota-driven modulation of inflammation and ECM dynamics, ECM-mediated signal
 ing, stem cell niche regulation, and tissue regeneration</li>	<li>		Tools a
 nd models for probing microenvironmental interactions, including organoids,
  gnotobiotic systems, and decellularized scaffolds</li>	<li>		Systems biolo
 gy approaches to integrate ECM, immune, and microbiome signaling networks</
 li></ul><p>	Alongside the lectures, the course will feature poster sessions
 , small-group discussions, and career-development activities. Mentoring and
  networking events will provide opportunities for participants to build col
 laborations and interact closely with faculty across disciplines.</p><p>	Wh
 at distinguishes this course is its holistic, mechanistic perspective on EC
 M&ndash;immune&ndash;microbiome crosstalk, integrating biological systems t
 hat are typically examined in isolation. Building on the strong legacy of p
 revious FEBS ECM courses (2007&ndash;2023), which have generated highly cit
 ed <em>The FEBS Journal</em> MiniReview Series and Special Issues, this cou
 rse aims to equip participants with the conceptual and technological tools 
 needed to advance research in this rapidly developing field. FEBS Youth Tra
 vel Fund (YTF) grants will be available.</p><p>	&nbsp;</p><p>	<span>Nikolao
