 Marrow Adiposity: Bone, Aging and Beyond (BMA2020)

The 6^th International Meeting on Bone Marrow Adiposity

September 9 – 10, 2020 • Virtual Meeting 

Ever wondered what to make of your marrow adipose tissue phenotypes? Why the cells are there?  Where they come from?  What they do? Join us for a 1.5-day interdisciplinary virtual meeting of adiposity, metabolism, and bone biology from the comfort of your own home or office. This is an ideal meeting for those NEW to the study of bone marrow adipocytes. Meet experts in the field from around the world and come away with a novel understanding of these unique cells + learn new methods about how to study them.

The higlighted topics of the conference are: BMAT dynamics and bone mass, aging, obesity and malnutrition, progenitors and lineage tracing, metabolism, hematopoiesis, metastasis, leukemia and myeloma, endocrine regulation, exercise, imaging and advanced methods, and beyond.
