2021 Symposium on Biologic Scaffolds for Regenerative Medicine
This 11th event in our symposia series was held in Napa Valley on May 6, 2021. It focused exclusively upon the development and use of materials derived from biologic sources (as opposed to synthetic scaffolds). The subject matter encompassed the full spectrum of basic science (including the composition, material properties, methods of preparation, determinants of the host innate immune response, and cell:matrix interactions) to clinical applications. The program is designed to have an equal mix of basic science and clinical presentations, and the audience consists of a mixture of clinicians and a broad range of scientists active in the field of Regenerative Medicine.
