Interfaces occur between tissue types with differing material properties, and cell and matrix components. Age, disease, and trauma can influence interactions between interfaces. This Workshop will focus on the importance of such interfaces in the joint and how they are considered in various models. It will describe current research on interfaces between different biological tissues in both disease and sports -related injury models and question whether our models of these interactions are appropriate. Full consideration of interactions between tissues and improvement of the models used to study interfaces would develop our understanding of potential intervention strategies and regenerative therapies.
