PROGRAMME

A more detailed programme will be visible by the end of 2025.

However, the main topics for EEM 2026 will be:

  1. Elastin and Elastic Fibers: Structure, Assembly, and Function
    • This session will explore the molecular structure of tropoelastin, its assembly into elastic fibers, and its role in tissue elasticity and function in organs like skin, blood vessels, and lungs.
  1. Elastin in Vascular, Pulmonary, and Skin Aging and Disease
    • This session will discuss the role of elastin in age-related tissue degeneration and its involvement in diseases such as atherosclerosis, emphysema, and skin aging.
  1. Elastin-Related Signaling
    • This session will cover how elastin activates cellular signaling pathways that affect tissue remodeling, inflammation, and disease progression.
  1. Elastin-Based Biomaterials for Tissue Regeneration
    • This session will discuss the use of elastin-derived biomaterials in regenerative medicine, including scaffolds for skin, vascular, and musculoskeletal repair.
  1. Emerging Techniques to Study Elastin and Elastic Fibers
    • This session will highlight new imaging, genetic, and biochemical methods for studying elastin and elastic fibers in tissues and diseases.
