AB  - Dendritic cells (DCs) mainly function to process/present antigens and thus 
      initiate and shape the subsequent immune response. DCs are chiefly present within 
      tissues in contact with the external environment and have a crucial role for 
      maintaining immune homeostasis. Epithelial cells have been attracting 
      considerable attention recently for they express a range of factors that 
      influence the behavior of DCs. Organized by Euroscicon, this meeting focussed on 
      integrating current knowledge and new paradigms surrounding the role of various 
      DC subtypes and epithelial cells; their interaction with one another as well as 
      with lymphocytes, microbial pathogens and commensal organisms. A wealth of 
      experts currently researching this diverse field provided insight into these 
      important interactions, their relevance to the medical setting and highlighted 
      areas for future research.
