5 Feb, 2010 Main Program
6 Feb 2010 Associative Program
This is a brand-new element of ISL&T-X.
Practical workshops will give you useful hints on paper writing and industrial fund application. And you will also discuss with different experts on controversial ligaments and tendons research issues. Don’t miss it!
- 9am - 10am Mentor Group
- Skills on writing papers
- Translational Research for clinical and industry needs
|
It will give you a live demonstration of the advanced lab equipment and advanced research techniques in the hosting University. Participants will be divided into small groups and guided by our teams to tour around laboratories to see demonstrations on
- Micro-CT imaging technique for the imaging of calcification in tendons and tunnel healing in ACL reconstruction;
- High resolution animal ultrasound imaging for monitoring tendon structure and vascularization after injury;
- In vivo imaging system for cell tracing
- Cell migration system
- GMP laboratory for tissue transplantation in human
- Gait laboratory for studying human motions
|
- Discussion on controversial research issues related to ligaments and tendons.
- Moderators will introduce the topic and raise specific questions to experts in the field for comments. Then, moderators will pick 2-3 questions from the audience.
- Each topic will last for 30 - 40mins.
- Tentative questions are listed as follows:
Tendon Cell differentiation
- How to define tendon stem cells?
- How to define tenocyte?
- What are the key factors for tenogenic differentiation?
- Is mechanical factor essential for tendon cell differentiation?
- Can we make tendon tissues in vitro?
