786 Engineering the Tissue and Cell Microenvironment

Friday, November 18, 2016: 3:15 PM - 5:45 PM
Continental 6 (Hilton San Francisco Union Square)
Description:
The extracellular microenvironment is critical for controlling cell and tissue function. This session explores the use of engineered microenvironments in the control of stem cell differentiation, biomimetic tissue development, tissue repair and regeneration, as well as the importance of the microenvironment in disease progression. Examples may include gradient patterns, dynamic mechanical properties, spatially-localized soluble and insoluble factors, temporal signals, as well as heterotypic cell-cell interactions that contribute to the microenvironment.
