Organizer
On Tuesday, 24 January 2023, MDPI and the Journal Bioengineering organized the first webinar on Bioengineering, entitled "Cardiovascular Regenerative Medicine".
Regenerative approaches are currently being researched extensively as there are promising applications towards enhancing cardiovascular treatments. This is the focus of this webinar. Specifically, 3 experts in the field are presenting talks on the following topics: 1. Dr. Sharan Ramaswamy: Fluid-based mechanical conditioning to accelerate heart valve regeneration. 2. Dr. Ngan F. Huang: Relationship between the extracellular matrix and its regulation of the endothelial cell phenotype. 3. Dr. Jun Liao: Cardiac elastin and its association with the mechanics at the cardiac interface.
The presentations were followed by a Q&A and a discussion, moderated by the Chair. The webinar was offered via Zoom and required registration to attend. The full recording can be found here on Sciforum website.
