Le Pr Ngan Fong Huang présentera une conférence intitulée "Approches de biofabrication 3D pour améliorer la régénération microvasculaire et musculaire".
Abstract
The laboratory of Dr. Ngan Huang investigates the role of the extracellular matrix (ECM) microenvironment to treat limb ischemia or muscle injury using biofabrication strategies and therapeutic cells. Dr. Huang will highlight the role of ECM properties, including biochemical, mechanical, and biophysical patterning modulate biological processes that mediate transplant cell survival, angiogenic capacity, and tissue regeneration. 3D biofabrication strategies to confer instructive cues to transplanted cells will be discussed. These strategies are applied to drug screening tissue chip model systems, as well as for preclinical testing for the treatment of peripheral artery disease, traumatic muscle injury, and muscle atrophy. Together, these examples illustrate the importance of cell-ECM interactions for regulating tissue regeneration.
