Modeling Approaches in Repair & Regeneration
Time: 9:00 am
day: Pre-Conference Seminar Day
Details:
- Reviewing studies involving complex phenotypic models simulating aspects of IPF, such as human lung organoids, human lung tissue ex vivo cultures and co-culture systems to inform why the lung environment is hostile to normal repair
- Using animal models to recapitulate drivers of lung fibrosis within the lung environment
- Reflecting on the use of human samples vs. rodent samples; and the repercussions for translatability
- Comparing the bleomycin model to other emerging animals models of lung fibrosis
