We had a great time at the Matrix Biology Europe (MBE, formerly known as the Federation of European Connective Tissue Societies or FECTS) meeting in Oulu in Finland this week.

Çağla’s abstract was selected for an oral presentation

and Maria and Roufaida presented great posters which led to several interesting discussions.

The scientific program was great and covered many aspects of matrix biology, fibrosis, regenerative medicine, inflammation and tissue engineering.

We also had some time to explore Oulu, and meet its famous policeman! 🙂
