This track focuses on age-associated decline in stem cell function and regenerative capacity, and strategies to restore them. Topics include hematopoietic, mesenchymal, neural, muscle, and epithelial stem cell aging; niche alterations; and systemic factors influencing regenerative potential. Stem Cells, Regeneration and Tissue Repair Mechanistic talks will examine DNA damage, epigenetic drift, metabolic shifts, and inflammatory signaling in stem cell exhaustion. The session will also highlight translational advances in cell-based therapies, organoids, biomaterials, and pro-regenerative biologics for age-related tissue repair. Contributions discussing safety, long-term integration, and functional outcomes of regenerative interventions in preclinical and clinical settings are particularly encouraged.
