7E: Musculoskeletal Regeneration

Timeslot: Friday, April 21, 2023 - 2:00pm to 3:30pm
Room: Coral 3-4

About

Advances in tissue engineering and regenerative therapies have led to the development of innovative materials and approaches for the functional regeneration of musculoskeletal tissues, including muscles, bones, cartilage, tendons, and neural tissues. However, given the intricate nature of the musculoskeletal system and its interconnection with other bodily systems, there is a crucial need for continued progress in translational therapies that integrates engineering, medicine, immunology, developmental biology, stem cell research, and bioinformatics. The focus of this session is on the latest breakthroughs in the development of functional biomaterials, preclinical models, and engineered strategies for repairing and regenerating musculoskeletal tissues affected by disease, trauma, and aging.
