Low grade chronic inflammation is a ubiquitous factor accompanying non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Despite sensitivity of our cells to physical stimuli (magnetic, electric, mechanic and optic) being well known, translation of this knowledge to medical application is still limited and extremely sectorial (orthopaedics, dermatology, biolelectronic medicine). This workshops aims at the creation of a core interdisciplinary group of experts to enhance cross-communication.
Online venue.
L'infiammazione cronica di basso grado è tra i fattori più onnipresenti correlati allo sviluppo di malattie non trasmissibili (MNT). Benchè sia nota la sensibilità delle nostre cellule agli stimoli fisici (magnetico, meccanico, elettrico, ottico), la traslazione di questa conoscenza applicata alla medicina è ancora limitata ed estremamente settoriale (ortopedia, dermatologia, medicina bioelettronica). Questo workshop mira a creare un gruppo interdisciplinare di esperti che possa superare questa settorializzazione.
Questo workshop mira a far incontrare esperti di queste tematiche e altri stakeholders del settore medico, per discutere dei futuri sviluppi applicativi.
L'evento si svolgerà online.
