A three-dimensional network of macromolecules, the extra-cellular matrix (ECM) provides structural and biomechanical resilience as well as key biophysical and biochemical cues to support biological function.

In this webinar, early career researchers explored how targeting ECM/redox interactions might alleviate the risk of tissue dysfunction and offer smarter regenerative medicine therapies.

Speakers:

• Mia Mohammed, University of Surrey
• Tamara Zakic, University of Belgrade
• Dr Alexander Eckersley, University of Manchester
• Dr Abhishek Mahajan, Clatterbridge Cancer Centre-Liverpool

This webinar was chaired by Dr Vanja Pekovic-Vaughan, University of Liverpool.

The researchers in this webinar are part of the ECMage network, one of 11 networks within the UK Ageing Network bringing together expertise in ageing, matrix biology, chronobiology, AI/computational modelling and tissue engineering to develop novel models and biomaterials to study ECM ageing.
