Integrative Approaches to Musculoskeletal Repair and Regeneration
Description:
Acute trauma, surgical resection after infection or cancer, muscular dystrophy and chronic cardiovascular and metabolic disease result in injury, degeneration, disuse, and even wastage of the limbs that can be disabling or in severe cases lead to amputation. These conditions deleteriously affect multiple tissues of the musculoskeletal system including the bone, cartilage, vasculature, nerves and skeletal muscle. Therefore, for therapeutic advancement, it is crucial to integrate knowledge and ongoing research in an attempt to devise a coordinated strategy of promoting the repair and regenerative capacity of each of these tissues, while simultaneously limiting deleterious scar formation. The aim of this workshop is to highlight recent advances from basic research at UTHealth on several aspects of musculoskeletal repair and regeneration and in turn to stimulate new clinical research collaborations.
