Presentation Type
Each abstract must be submitted as an oral or a poster presentation.
Oral Presentation
A limited number of abstracts will be selected for oral presentations. Oral presentations are limited to 10 minutes for presentation and five minutes for discussion. Authors should prepare presentation media that is clear enough to be seen by a large group in a room that is not completely dark. An oral presentation preview room will be available on-site for review of slides, video or computer projection before presentation.
Poster Presentation
A board will be assigned to each poster presenter to display their poster.
The poster should have A0 size in portrait format (poster display dimension 95 cm wide x 120 cm high).
You may hang up your poster from Sunday, July 11, 2010, 3:00 pm to Wednesday, July 14, 2010, 11:45 am. Presenters should stand next to their poster board during the Posterviewing & Exhibition Networking on Tuesday, July 13, 2010, 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm, to discuss their work with colleagues.
Abstract Title
Your abstract title is limited up to 250 characters, including spaces. A title that includes “tissue” or ‘stem cell’ should include the species and type of tissue response stem cell used, i.e. ‘Mouse adult stem cells’.
Presenter
Each abstract may indicate only one presenter. The following data are required:
First name, surname, affiliation, e-mail address.
Co-Authors
Each abstract can include a maximum of six co-authors. The following data are required: first name, surname, affiliation, city and e-mail address.

Abstracts should be informative, containing objectives, methods, results and a conclusion and should contain original material neither published nor presented elsewhere prior to July 14, 2010.
No photos, graphics or charts may be submitted. All abbreviations must be defined the first time they appear in your text (please do not define in the title).
Avoid Greek letters and symbols. For the symbols ≤ or ≥, type instead <= or >=. For superscript use caret (^) e.g. 10^6 instead of 106. Instead of 'IFN-γ' use for example 'IFN-g' or 'IFN-gamma', etc.
