 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): It is now well accepted that the immune, hematopoietic and skeletal systems have major interactions, which occur for the most part, between the bone and bone marrow. Osteoclasts, the cells that resorb bone, are important cellular mediators of skeletal homeostasis and are derived from hematopoietic precursors that also give rise to immune cells. In addition, numerous cytokines, which were first shown to regulate immune cell function, are now known to regulate bone cells and influence skeletal health. Conversely, cells in the osteoblast lineage and their cytokines are critical for the development of the hematopoietic stem cell niche and the normal development of the hematopoietic and immune cell lineages. Up until recently, scientists involved in immune or bone cell research rarely interacted in a significant way because each discipline developed independently and, for the most part, has remained separate. The fundamental hypothesis of the organizers of this conference is that progress in the field of osteoimmunology, which is the study of the interactions of bone, hematopoietic and immune cells in health and disease, will be delayed unless better communication is established between bone biologists, hematologist and immunologists. The goal of The Sixth International Conference on Osteoimmunology: Interactions of the Immune and Skeletal Systems is to bring together scientists from these fields in a setting that will facilitate, interactions and new collaborations and hasten progress towards understanding the interconnections of the immune, hematopoietic and skeletal system. Our five previous meetings were highly successful and well attended by 100-150 participants from all over the world.

 描述（由申请人提供）：现在公认免疫、造血和骨骼系统具有主要的相互作用，其大部分发生在骨和骨髓之间。破骨细胞是吸收骨的细胞，是骨骼稳态的重要细胞介质，并且来源于造血前体，造血前体也产生免疫细胞。此外，许多细胞因子最初被证明可以调节免疫细胞功能，现在已知它们可以调节骨细胞并影响骨骼健康。相反，成骨细胞谱系中的细胞及其细胞因子对于造血干细胞龛的发育以及造血和免疫细胞谱系的正常发育至关重要。直到最近，参与免疫或骨细胞研究的科学家很少以重要的方式相互交流，因为每个学科都是独立发展的，而且在很大程度上保持独立。本次会议的组织者的基本假设是，骨免疫学领域的进展，这是骨，造血和免疫细胞在健康和疾病中的相互作用的研究，将被推迟，除非在骨生物学家，血液学家和免疫学家之间建立更好的沟通。第六届骨免疫学国际会议的目标：免疫和骨骼系统的相互作用是将这些领域的科学家聚集在一起，促进相互作用和新的合作，并加速理解免疫，造血和骨骼系统的相互联系。我们之前的五次会议非常成功，来自世界各地的100-150名与会者踊跃参加。
