eCM XI: Cartilage &
Disc: Repair and Regeneration.
Monday June 28-Wednesday 30 June 2010
Hotel Morosani Schweizerhof, Davos, Switzerland
Articular cartilage and
intervertebral disc have many structural and functional similarities
although they are different tissues. Despite their simple structure,
repair remains a clinical challenge. In order to meet this challenge,
a full understanding of the biological processes, from development
to degradation, is necessary. This conference aims to address precisely
these topics while exploring issues such as biomaterials and clinical
approaches. The outcome should be an increased understanding of
the topic and a fostering of the interaction between scientists
and clinicians.
This international forum
continues the eCM congress series held in Davos.
The limited number of participants (150) ensures clinicians, biologists,
engineers and material scientists will have ample opportunities
for knowledge sharing in basic, translational and clinical research
in addition to developments in the field of cartilage and disc,
repair and regeneration. As the conference does not have parallel
sessions it permits in-depth multidisciplinary discussions about
how to advance this research area.
