SCOPE
Far from being a rigid and static material, cardiovascular extracellular
matrix (ECM) is a highly dynamic structure that responds to injury and
disease through specific molecular mechanisms. This response can activate
beneficial repair mechanisms but can also lead to myocardial and vascular
malfunction. This workshop will provide insight into the mechanisms
integral to ECM homeostasis—synthesis, deposition and remodeling—that
are fundamental to understanding the pathological basis of several
cardiovascular diseases. The workshop will also present state-of the art
knowledge on the mechanisms of fibrosis initiation, propagation and
regression that will form the basis for the future development of new
therapeutic strategies, including new anti-fibrotic drugs, the ECM-based
biomaterials, and gene therapy interventions to revert fibrosis.
FORMAT OF THE WORKSHOP
The workshop will bring together 17 speakers and a maximum of 33-35
participants, to form a group of around 50 people. The scientific
programme will start in the morning of Monday, October 6th, and will end
around noon on Wednesday, October 8th. Ample time for informal
discussion will be reserved. Participants will be invited to present a poster.
VEUE OF THE WORKSHOP
The workshop will be held in Baeza, at the “Campus Antonio Machado”, a
XVII century building turned into a Conference Centre of the Universidad
Internacional de Andalucía (UNIA). This Seat includes a recently restored
residence, where participants will be accommodated. Baeza is a World
Historic Heritage town, renowned for its Renaissance and Gothic buildings.
