Stem Cell & Regenerative Medicine

Cardiac, Vascular & Musculoskeletal Regeneration

Regenerative strategies targeting the heart, vasculature, and musculoskeletal system are reshaping the treatment of chronic injuries and degenerative diseases. Stem cells, gene therapies, biomaterials, and tissue-engineered constructs enable repair, remodeling, and functional restoration of damaged tissues. Cardiac regeneration focuses on cardiomyocyte replacement, angiogenesis, and myocardial repair, while vascular therapies target endothelial function and vessel integrity. Musculoskeletal regeneration addresses cartilage, bone, and tendon repair through scaffolds, growth factors, and mechanical stimulation. Preclinical and clinical studies demonstrate enhanced tissue integration, improved mobility, and reduced disease progression. Innovations in 3D printing, biomimetic scaffolds, and bioreactors support scalable regenerative approaches. This session explores translational strategies, clinical outcomes, and regulatory considerations, offering insights into combining cellular, molecular, and bioengineering approaches to restore structure and function across critical organ and tissue systems.
