Musculoskeletal Tissue Regeneration – Mechanisms and Clinical Perspectives

The basic principles of musculoskeletal tissue regeneration will be covered, with a translational link to clinical challenges. We will focus on skeletal muscle and tendon, and their attachment sites to the skeleton. Course teachers are internationally recognised leading experts in their field, for example:

• Potential and limitations of soft tissue repair and regeneration
• Determinants of stem cell fates and states
• Tendon-bone and tendon-muscle junctions
• Immune cells and inflammation in tissue regeneration
• Dynamics of human soft tissue turnover
• Circadian rhythm in musculoskeletal soft tissues

Participants

PhD students or pre-PhD students working in the field of musculoskeletal tissue regeneration from a basic science or clinical perspective. This course is especially suited for students with backgrounds in for example molecular biomedicine, sports science, biology, veterinary science, and medicine.
