1st Mount Sinai Symposium on Liver Fibrosis & Hepatic Stellate Cells

Celebrating 150 Years of the First Description of Hepatic Stellate Cells (1876) Course Overview The meeting features an exceptional lineup of globally recognized experts from North America and Europe, including keynote lectures from pioneers in fibroblast biology, mechanotransduction, organoid modeling, and translational fibrosis research. The program spans state-of-the-art topics such as cellular heterogeneity, spatial multi-omics, AI-enabled pathology, fibroinflammatory niches, and emerging anti-fibrotic therapies, with technology demonstrations and an interactive panel. Designed to foster cross-disciplinary exchange, this timely conference offers scientists and physician-scientists an unparalleled opportunity to engage with transformative ideas shaping the future of fibrosis biology and therapy. Program Objectives 1. Review the historical evolution and current understanding of hepatic stellate cells and their role in liver fibrosis. 2. Examine hepatic stellate cell heterogeneity, plasticity, and mechanobiology across chronic liver disease states. 3. Describe the cellular, immunologic, and stromal mechanisms linking fibrosis to inflammation and hepatocellular carcinoma. 4. Evaluate emerging technologies, including spatial multi-omics, AI-based pathology, SHG imaging, and MRE, for fibrosis assessment. 5. Discuss current and future antifibrotic therapeutic strategies, including cellular-based approaches and translational trial design.
