Tissue Barriers in Disease, Injury and Regeneration
Gorbunov, Nikolai V. (Research Associate Professor, Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine in Bethesda, Maryland, USA)
Focuses on the molecular and cellular fundamentals of homeostatic and defense responses of tissue barriers to damaging impacts and exposure to pathogens and engineered nanomaterials. There will be a special emphasis on role of mesenchymal stoma, vascular, epithelial, telocyte, myofibroblast, lymphoid, and reticuloendothelial cells in development of reactions that bridge effects of ambient factors, medical treatments, drag delivery systems with...
