workshop announcement:
BIOCOMPLEXITY IV: REGENERATIVE BIOLOGY AND MEDICINE
May 14-18, 2003
Indiana University Bloomington Willkie Conference Center
Regenerative biology is the science of understanding the mechanisms of
natural regeneration that are used in the animal world to replace
cells, tissues and complex structures and how these mechanisms differ
from those that lead to fibrosis, or scarring. Regenerative medicine is
the application of this knowledge to enable the regeneration of
biological structures that normally do not regenerate well.
Regeneration requires a source of regeneration-competent cells, the
right systemic and local environmental signals, and the absence of
inhibitors of regeneration. The intent of this workshop is to bring
together experts on regeneration over a wide range of experimental
systems to synthesize the current state of our knowledge on the biology
of regeneration and to assess our progress toward the establishment of
a regenerative medicine.
