12th Tuscany Retreat on Cancer Research and Apoptosis: Genetic profiling, resistance mechanisms and novel treatment concepts in cancer and neurodegeneration.

The 12th Tuscany Retreat on Cancer Research and Apoptosis was held on August 19-26, 2023. The biennial retreat aims to bring together scientists who advance research in cancer, cell death, and neurodegenerative diseases. Topics covered ranged from drug resistance in cancer to insights into novel molecular cell signaling mechanisms and targets, all related to the pathways and molecules that regulate programmed cell death and the diseases that result from the dysregulation of programmed cell death. In this meeting review, we summarize the content of the most recent retreat.
