2022 IADR/APR General Session

The 100 th General Session & Exhibition of the IADR was held in conjunction with the 5th Meeting of the Asia Pacific Region. The virtual meeting was attended by individuals from around the world. Those attending the meeting could choose from among 207 Interactive Talk sessions, seven Focused Learning Sessions, three Hands-on Workshops, five satellite symposia, 52 Symposia, one Distinguished Lecture Series and a plenary. 

The recordings in this library from the meeting are a selection of the science that was to be presented as part of the General Session. These recordings give you the opportunity to participate in the meeting and hear from leading researchers. The recordings include the IADR Distinguished Lecture Series speaker and symposia from a collection of scientific groups and networks.

This session can be purchased as part of the full meeting recordings within the product bundles


Description
The immune system plays a critical role in directing tissue repair and regeneration outcomes, while its involvement in functional regeneration of salivary glands is an emerging topic. Salivary glands contain abundant immune cells at the steady state, while radiation or over-activated immune response greatly change the composition and polarization of local immune cells and compromise salivary function. This symposium summarizes current knowledge on the roles and changes of tissue-resident immune cells, with a focus on salivary gland immune cells, in the development, homeostasis, and regeneration of tissues. It will also overview the potential of novel regenerative immunotherapies for restoring salivary gland function damaged by radiation or over-activated immune response. Finally, it will discuss the potential of combining immune modulation and tissue engineering for treatment of salivary gland hypofunction.

Learning Objectives
  • At the conclusion of this activity, participants will be able to recognize advancements of the emerging roles of immune responses in the function and regeneration of salivary glands.
