The meeting is a high profile conference on tissue degeneration and regeneration, jointly sponsored by the International Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB-Italy) and the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation of the Argentina Republic in the frame of the Italo Latin American year.
The aim of the meeting is to explore current research into the molecular mechanisms underlying degenerative conditions in the heart, brain and other organs. Participation by several eminent speakers from the US, Europe and South America is foreseen.
Topics:
- Molecular mechanisms of tissue degeneration
- Cardiovascular repair and regenaration
- Mechanisms of degeneration in the central nervous system
- Aging and rejuvenation
- Dementias and other neurodegenerative disorders
- Embryonic and adult stem cells
- iPS cells
- Mesenchymal stem cells
- Non coding RNAs in tissue degeneration and regeneration
