Regenerative medicine is an interdisciplinary field that applies engineering and life science principles to promote regeneration and can potentially restore diseased and injured tissues and whole organs. It concerns the development of tools for the repair or regeneration of damaged tissues

Study of the effects of microgravity on the organism and similarities with aging. This project involves the use of in vitro and in vivo models, both mouse models and 3D cell cultures. The latter are used in static and dynamic conditions thanks to the use of bioreactors
Scientists: Tavella S.
Keywords: microgravity, skeletal tissue, regenerative medicine
