PG6 Cell-matrix dynamics in lung injury and repair

Postgraduate Course
Chairs: Silke Meiners (Munich, Germany), Christian M. Kaehler (Innsbruck, Austria)
Aims: To review the cell-matrix interactions that occur in response to chronic injury and during repair and lung tissues remodelling, with a specific focus on the interactions that involve epithelial, immune and interstitial cells. These interactions play crucial roles in the outcome of different types of lung tissue injuries.
Target audience: Pulmonologists, respiratory physicians, respiratory therapists, clinical and basic researchers, thoracic surgeons, pulmonary oncologists, radiologists, pathologists, and trainees.
