Edoardo Borgiani, Gabriele Nasello, Liesbeth Ory, Sophie Nguyen, and Tom Verbraeken presented their work at the ORS International Section of Fracture Repair (ISFR) 19th Biennial Meeting, held on 6-8 May 2026 in Berlin, Germany. The congress brought together a global community of clinicians, researchers, engineers, and industry partners on innovation in the field of fracture repair, bone regeneration, and orthopedic trauma.

They all presented their work during the conference:

• Edoardo: “An experimentally-informed in silico model to investigate the role of mechanobiology during bone healing early inflammatory stage” (poster)
• Gabriele: “Localized activation of regulatory T cells regenerates bone defects” (oral, selected from scoring abstracts)
• Liesbeth: “May the force be with you: immuno-mechanical dynamics driving early bone repair” (oral, selected from top abstracts)
• Sophie N: “From simulation to bone regeneration: in silico design of biodegradable porous scaffolds in critical-size defects” (poster)
• Tom: “The lymphatic vessel microenvironment in critical-size bone defect regeneration” (poster)

They also had the opportunity to visit the Rahel Hirsch Center of the Charité for a lab tour.
