Rebuilding: new perspectives on lung bioengineering
Hot topicsChairs: T. Geiser (Bern, Switzerland), M. Koenigshoff (Munich, Germany)
Aims: The audience will learn about the new methodologies and findings in experimental animal models and, the human lung that promote the use of bioengineering scaffolds in future treatments of chronic lung disease. Important clinical advances will be highlighted and the outcomes will be discussed in terms of how bioengineering approaches can be improved further for future therapies.
