This past week, members of the TARE Lab attended the Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine International Society’s (TERMIS) World Congress, held here in Seattle. We were excited to see how different global perspectives generated so many cutting-edge ideas to improve universal healthcare quality! Check below for the presentations and posters our members delivered, and some photos.

Kyley – “Modulating Pentenoate-Functionalized Hyaluronic Acid Hydrogel Network Formation to Investigate Meniscal Cell Mechanotransduction”

John – “Sex Dependent Impacts of Exogenous Estrogens in Cell Culture Media on hMSC Metabolism and Proliferation”

Katherine – “Developing an In Vitro Meniscus Injury Model Using Modified Electrospun Fibrous Scaffolds”

Aidan – “Modulating Macrophage Polarization Using Surface Roughness on Electrospun Fibers to Promote Healing in Fibrous Connective Tissue Injuries”

Susy – “Genomic Characterization of Human Meniscus Tissues Reveals Distinct Clusters of Matrix-Producing Cell Subpopulations”
