Articular cartilage and intervertebral disc have many structural and functional similarities although they are different tissues. Despite their well defined structure, repair remains a clinical challenge. In order to meet this challenge, a full understanding of the biological processes, from development to degradation, is necessary. This conference aims to address precisely these topics while exploring issues such as cell mediated repair, biomaterials and clinical approaches. The outcome should be an increased understanding of the topic and an emphasis of the need to improve the interaction between scientists & clinicians. more details
