Track 1: Regenerative Medicine Research

Regenerative Medicine refers to a group of some biomedical approaches to research and clinical applications which is aimed at replacing or "regenerating" the human cells, tissues or organs to restore or to establish normal functions which were damaged due to some diseases. The field of Regenerative medicine has attracted much attention as it holds the promise of regenerating damaged tissues and organs in the body by replacing damaged tissue or by stimulating the body's own repair mechanisms to heal the damaged tissues or organs. It also may enable the scientists to grow tissues and organs in the laboratory and safely implant them within the body.

Track 2: Clinical Trials on Cell Therapy and Regenerative Medicine

Clinical trials are research studies carried out with the human subjects to evaluate the effects of the health-related interventions on health-related biomedical or behavioural outcomes. Much of the early work in Cell therapy, stem cell clinical trials focused on the overall effectiveness and safety of the procedures involved. The primary concern with any new treatment is the long term safety and standardization of results.

• Types of Gene Therapy
• Gene Therapy Techniques
• Gene Therapy Challenges

Track 3: Tissue Science and Engineering

Tissue engineering is widely used in the biomedical sector for regeneration and repair of diseased or trauma tissues. Tissue engineering addresses tissue and organ failure by implanting natural, synthetic, or semisynthetic tissue and organ mimics that are fully functional from the start or that grow into the required functionality. The field initially focused on skin equivalents for treating burns, but an increasing number of tissue types are now being engineered, as well as biomaterials and scaffolds are being used as delivery systems successfully. A variety of approaches are used to coax differentiated or undifferentiated cells, such as stem cells, into the desired cell type.

Track 4: Nanotechnology in Cell Therapy and Regenerative Medicine

In recent years, nanotechnology in cell therapy and regenerative medicine has been emerged as a replacement of exciting field. Experimental and Theoretical studies of interaction between the nanostructures or the nanomaterial’s and stem cells have created a nice advances. The importance of nanotechnology, nanostructures, and nanomaterial’s to the elemental developments in the stem cells-based therapies for injuries and some degenerative diseases has been recognized.

• Nanotechnology In The Regeneration of Complex Tissues
• Regenerative Approaches With Nanoparticles

Track 5: Regenerative Medicine in Aging, Dermatology and Plastic Surgery

People with the reconstructive needs due to the aging, burn injuries, cancer, complex wounds, birth anomalies and the other trauma have very limited effective treatment options. Researchers and plastic surgeons are creating a regenerative medicine therapies with the goal of both healing the damaged tissue as well as forming a new tissue.

Track 6: Gene Therapy

Gene therapy uses the genes to treat or prevent any disease. In the future, this technique may allow the doctors to treat a disorder by inserting a gene into the patient’s cells instead of using any drugs or surgery. Several approaches to the gene therapy are currently being tested by the researchers including: Replacing a mutated gene that causes the disease with a healthy copy of the gene; inactivating a mutated gene that is functioning improperly; Introducing a new gene into the body to help fight a disease.

Track 7: Orthopedics, Sports Medicine and Regenerative Rehabilitation

Orthopedic sports medicine is that which involves an investigation, prevention, and restoration by the medical, surgical, and rehabilitative means to all or any structures of the musculoskeletal system plagued by some sports activity. Regenerative medicine attempts to augment the natural healing process to heal or even to “grow back” the damaged tissue viz. muscle, tendon, ligament or cartilage etc. Surgical and non-surgical procedures are performed which are designed specifically to heal and “Regenerate” the damaged tissues.

Track 8: Immunotherapy

Due to rapidly advancing field of the cancer immunology in the past few years, there has been production of several new methods of treating the cancer called Immunotherapies. Immunotherapy is a type of treatment that enhances the strength of immune response against the tumors either by stimulating the activities of specific components of immune system or by counteracting some signals produced by cancer cells that suppress the immune responses. Some types of immunotherapy are also called as the biologic therapy or biotherapy.

Track 9: Biologic Scaffolds for Regenerative medicine

Scaffolds are one of the most important elements constituting the basic concept of the regenerative medicine, and are included in the core technology of regenerative medicine. Every day thousands of surgical procedures and treatments are performed in order to replace or repair tissue that has been damaged through some disease or trauma. The developing field of tissue engineering (TE) mainly aims to regenerate damaged tissues by combining the cells from the body with highly porous scaffold biomaterials, which act as templates for tissue regeneration, to guide the growth of new tissue.

Track 10: Models of Regeneration

Researchers are developing animal models to study the various aspects of regenerative medicine such as stem cell repopulation, recellularization, cellular mechanisms underlying limb and spinal cord regeneration and many.

Track 11: Cell Therapy and Regenerative Medicine Market

There are strong pricing pressures from the public healthcare payers globally as the Governments are trying to reduce the budget deficits. Regenerative medicine could potentially save the public health bodies money by reducing the need for the long-term care and reducing the associated disorders, with potential benefits for the world economy as a whole. The global market for tissue engineering and the regeneration products reached nearly to $55.9 billion in 2010, is expected to reach to $135 billion to 2024.

Track 12: Biomaterials & Bioengineering

Biomaterials are being utilized for the social insurance applications from old circumstances. In any case, consequent development has made them more flexible and has expanded their utility. Biomaterials have reformed the territories like bioengineering and tissue designing for the advancement of novel methodologies to battle perilous infections. Together with biomaterials, immature microorganism innovation is additionally being utilized to enhance the current human services offices.

Track 13. Novel Approaches guided in Tissue Engineering

GTR are dental surgical procedures that use barrier membranes to direct the growth of new bone and gingival tissue at sites with insufficient volumes or dimensions of bone or gingiva for proper function, esthetics or prosthetic restoration

Track 14: Advances in Cell Therapy Research

Since the beginning there has been a effective research in the field of stem cell biology, recent advances in the field of the stem cell research mainly focused in the translation of scientific insights into the new therapies. It represents a new strategy for organ and tissue repair in several pathologies. Additional treatment strategies are urgently needed due to the donor organ shortage that costs many lives every year and results in lifelong immunosuppression. Stem cells are characterized by the ability to renew by themselves and differentiating into a various range of specialized cell types.

Track 15: Applications of Tissue engineering & Regenerative Medicine

There are many applications of Tissue engineering but majorly they are used in Organ Transplantation and Therapeutic Cloning like Bio Artificial liver device, artificial pancreas, artificial bladders, and Cartilage. When there is damage in our body cells or organs we use tissue engineering techniques to overcome the damage by replacing the old cell. There is wide range of Tissue Engineered product or materials which are used to cure diseases in human and save life.
