STEM CELLS AND CELL METASTASIS

Friday, June 13, 2025
2:00 PM – 3:30 PM HK Time
Location: Hall B, L1

This session will explore the evolving understanding of metastasis, which accounts for over 95% of cancer deaths, highlight how it is now seen as a hijacked normal process that also plays a role in tissue repair, rather than solely an abnormal process driven by malignant lineages.
