Advances in Neural Regenerative Medicine: Integrative Strategies and Practical Skills

Regenerative Medicine deals with the process of restoring, repairing and improving the normal functions of damaged tissues or organs to extend and improve quality of life.

The complexity of Central Nervous System (CNS) pathologies has been demanding for the development of integrative therapies that combine different fields of science. Indeed this has been the most recent trend in neurotherapeutics.
However, this trend has not been followed by the majority of the workshops (both national and international), which generally tend to focus on one or two isolated topics (e.g. neuroinflammation or axonal growth), and not in the overall integrated picture.
Therefore the objective of this course is to comprehensively discuss the current state of the art in relevant areas of Neural Regenerative Medicine research in the most integrated possible form.
The purpose is to create a unique multidisciplinary forum of debate that can foster new ideas and strategies that can pave the way for innovative approaches within this field.
