Stem Cell & Regenerative Medicine

Regenerative Immunology & Immune Modulation

Regenerative immunology investigates the interplay between the immune system and tissue repair, highlighting how immune modulation can enhance stem cell therapies and regenerative outcomes. Immune cells orchestrate inflammation, healing, and tissue remodeling, making them critical targets for intervention in regenerative medicine. Strategies include manipulating macrophage polarization, modulating T-cell responses, and leveraging regulatory immune cells to improve graft survival and tissue integration. This session explores immunomodulatory biomaterials, cytokine therapies, and engineered immune cells to create regenerative niches that optimize stem cell engraftment and functional recovery. Clinical applications focus on autoimmune disorders, organ transplantation, wound healing, and musculoskeletal regeneration. Advanced approaches integrate gene editing and biomaterials to engineer immune-compatible regenerative therapies. Challenges include understanding immune heterogeneity, avoiding adverse immune reactions, and achieving long-term tolerance. Attendees will learn about cutting-edge research in immune-stem cell interactions, immune-privileged scaffolds, and translational strategies to harness immune responses for enhanced regenerative medicine outcomes.
