The theme of the 27th Scientific Conference will be "Mechanisms of Cellular and Tissue Response to Physical Stimuli". Topics presented in previous conferences can be seen in the programs in Past Conferences. In general, topics traditionally presented at the conference include: Tissue engineering Stem cell biology and mechanobiology Biomaterials Tissue wound healing Cell mechanics Tissue biomechanics Cell mechanobiology Cell-matrix interactions Cellular and/or tissue regulation by physical stimuli (e.g., mechanical, electrical, magnetic, etc.)
