The extracellular matrix provides structural and biochemical support essential for tissue development and regeneration. This session will focus on extracellular matrix composition, remodeling, and engineering strategies. Researchers will discuss decellularization techniques and matrix-derived biomaterials. Biomimetic approaches for recreating native tissue environments will also be highlighted.
Presentations will explore cell-matrix interactions and their influence on cellular differentiation and tissue formation. Topics such as matrix mechanics, biochemical signaling, and tissue-specific microenvironments will be discussed. Participants will gain insights into innovative extracellular matrix-based therapies. Applications across various organ systems will also be presented.
The session will examine challenges associated with standardization, scalability, and clinical translation of extracellular matrix products. Experts will discuss future directions in matrix engineering and regenerative medicine. Emerging synthetic and hybrid matrix systems will also be explored. This session aims to inspire the development of advanced biomimetic technologies.
