Synopsis

The 5th Growth Factors in Regeneration and Regenerative Medicine Fusion Conference aims to bring together researchers and clinicians from different disciplines with an interest in the function of growth factors and their downstream signalling molecules as mediators of tissue and organ repair and their modulation to promote regeneration. Because of the remarkable parallels between (i) tissue repair and development and (ii) tissue repair and cancer, the conference will also be of great interest to developmental biologists and cancer researchers. It will provide a unique opportunity for academic and industrial researchers and clinicians to meet each other in a stimulating environment and to discuss ongoing and novel collaborations and interdisciplinary research projects.

Key Sessions

• Growth factor functions in development and parallels to repair
• Growth factor functions in cancer and parallels to repair
• Cross-talk between growth factor and extracellular matrix signals
• Stromal-immune cell cross-talk in tissue repair and regeneration
• Growth factors in stem cell function
• Novel growth factor- based strategies to promote regeneration
• Growth factors in lung development, repair, and regeneration (joint session with 3rd Niche-epithelial Stem Cell Interactions in Lung Health and Disease Conference. More details coming soon)
