Track: Heart Regeneration & Transplantation

Heart 2025 Conference - Heart Regeneration & Transplantation

Heart failure is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and for many patients, heart transplantation is the final option for survival. However, the demand for donor hearts far exceeds the supply, creating an urgent need for innovative therapies that can regenerate heart tissue or provide alternatives to transplantation.

This session will cover the latest developments in heart regeneration, focusing on stem cell-based therapies, tissue engineering, and gene editing techniques that aim to repair or regenerate damaged heart muscle. Advances in 3D bioprinting, which is paving the way for creating heart tissue and organ scaffolds, will also be discussed. Additionally, the field of heart transplantation will be covered, including improvements in organ preservation, immune rejection prevention, and the latest surgical techniques.

The market for regenerative medicine is expanding, with stem cell therapies and tissue engineering poised to become mainstream treatments in the next decade. Innovations in organ transplantation, including the use of mechanical circulatory support devices and xenotransplantation, are also expected to revolutionize the field.

Key Topics to Be Discussed:

1. Stem Cell Therapy in Heart Regeneration

Explore the potential of stem cells—such as mesenchymal stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells—in regenerating heart tissue, improving cardiac function, and offering a potential alternative to heart transplantation.

2. Tissue Engineering and 3D Bioprinting

Learn about the use of tissue engineering and bioprinting techniques to create heart tissues and even whole organs. This segment will focus on the challenges, progress, and future prospects of growing functional heart tissue for implantation.

3. Advances in Heart Transplantation Techniques

Understand the latest techniques in heart transplantation, including improvements in organ preservation, donor-recipient matching, and surgical approaches to ensure better outcomes for transplant patients.

4. Immune Rejection and Immunosuppressive Strategies

Discuss the challenges of immune rejection following heart transplantation and the latest advancements in immunosuppressive therapies and tolerance induction to improve graft survival.

5. Mechanical Circulatory Support Devices

Explore the role of mechanical devices, such as ventricular assist devices (VADs) and total artificial hearts (TAHs), in supporting patients with end-stage heart failure while they wait for a transplant or as a long-term solution.

6. Xenotransplantation and Bioengineering

This segment will explore the potential of xenotransplantation—transplanting animal organs into humans—as a solution to the donor organ shortage, as well as the role of bioengineering in improving organ viability and function.

Summary:

This session will provide a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements in heart regeneration and transplantation, offering attendees:

• Knowledge of stem cell therapies and their potential in regenerating heart tissue and repairing damaged cardiac muscle.

• Insights into tissue engineering and bioprinting techniques for creating functional heart tissues and organs.

• An understanding of advanced heart transplantation techniques, including organ preservation and improved surgical methods.

• Current strategies to combat immune rejection following heart transplants, including new immunosuppressive treatments.

• Information on mechanical circulatory support devices and their role in supporting heart failure patients.

• Exploration of xenotransplantation and bioengineering, as innovative solutions to address the organ shortage crisis.

Attendees will leave with an updated understanding of the current state and future prospects of heart regeneration and transplantation, enabling them to apply the latest knowledge in their clinical practice and research to improve patient outcomes.
