International Symposium 2009

We are delighted to invite you to submit abstracts to the forthcoming International Symposium, to be held in the Centrum für Sportwissenschaft und Sportmedizin Berlin.

Session preview

Learning from endogenous bone healing for guided tissue regeneration
Musculoskeletal interactions – from biomechanics to mechanobiology
Native bone tissue structure and properties during healing
Biomimetic materials for bone regeneration
What inter- and what intra-cellular signaling drives healing?
Importance of cellular interactions for bone regeneration

Aim
We are looking forward to seeing up-to-date research results as well as having in-depth scientific discussions. This meeting therefore aims to define the current status and concepts in bone regeneration.

Summary
The symposium will allow highlighting the state of the art in the research field of bone regeneration. We will focus on new developments regarding the molecular basis for bone regeneration, the understanding of the structural constrains of native and artificial tissue (biomaterials) and the clinical implications and experimental models of bone regeneration. We will offer a platform for clinicians and researchers to share expertises and experiences on latest developments in this field.

Abstracts
Abstracts for posters and presentations are now being accepted. The deadline for submission of abstracts is September 11^st 2009. The best quality abstract submissions of no more than 300 words will be accepted for the sessions presented above.
