Regenerative medicine: current applications, challenges and future directions
Co-organized with University Magna Graecia of Catanzaro
in cooperation with SIRTEPS e SITELF

Chair: Francesca MEGIORNI, University "Sapienza" of Rome, Italy
Regenerative medicine represents a beacon of hope in modern healthcare, promising solutions for degenerative diseases and tissue damage. This session delves into the multifaceted landscape of regenerative medicine, charting its present achievements, grappling with existing obstacles, and envisioning the bold trajectories that lie ahead. Current applications of regenerative medicine span a diverse spectrum, from stem cell therapies to tissue-engineered constructs fostering organ regeneration. These breakthroughs underscore the potential to mend the human body at its most fundamental level, encouraging natural healing processes to restore vitality. However, the path to full realization is not without hurdles. The challenges of immune rejection, ethical considerations, and ensuring safe, standardized protocols demand careful exploration. Looking forward, regenerative medicine holds the promise of tailored treatments, personalized to an individual's genetic makeup and medical history. Innovations such as organ printing, gene editing, and bioactive scaffolds are poised to redefine healthcare paradigms, bridging the gap between science fiction and tangible medical solutions.
