WELCOME ADDRESS

Dear Colleague,

Cell transplant and growth factor delivery are extraordinary challenges
in cardiovascular medicine.
Many clinicians, scientists, and patients are relying on this novel
therapies as a new hope to treat irreversible damage of the myocardium.
We share this hope and took the committment to gather the most
renewed experts of the field to provide a true state of the art,
discuss limitations, and present future research directions of cell transplantation
and growth factor delivery for cardiac tissue repair.

We look forward to seeing you in Sirmione, Northern Italy (Lake Garda),
celebrated by the Roman poet Valerio Catullo in
the year 56 B.C., and hope you will join us in this challenge and bring your
personal contribution for a fruitfull and oustanding meeting.
