🌍🔬 STRONG-UR at ScSB 2026! Our partner, Aalborg University, joined inspiring discussions on biomaterials & regenerative medicine. Collaboration drives innovation 🚀 #ScSB2026

Understanding urethral conditions starts with understanding the tissue. At STRONG-UR, we’re developing advanced in vitro models to better study disease, test treatments, and support improved patient outcomes.🏥

STRONG-UR at the TERMIS-EU 2026 Congress 🚀 Great exchanges on biofabrication & translating research into clinical impact. Thanks for an inspiring event! Lear more about it! ➡️ www.strong-ur.eu/news-events/... #TERMIS #TissueEngineering

If we already understand the challenges, what comes next? At STRONG-UR we explore regenerative, patient-specific approaches to urethral reconstruction. Towards less invasive treatment pathways. 🚀 #MedTech #Urology

Raising awareness around urethral conditions is key, but current treatments also matter. They can involve invasive procedures or repeated interventions over time, with real impact on daily life. 🏥 #Urology

Urethral strictures are more common than many think, but stigma keeps people from talking about them. Research and awareness help break the silence and improve future treatments. 🔬 👥 #Urology #PatientAwareness

🔔Last week we had our STRONG-UR consortium meeting & general assembly. Great to reconnect, review 6-month progress 📊, and align on next steps 🚀. What drives us: collaboration, commitment & a shared vision 💪 #Teamwork #Consortium #Innovation

📣We’re pleased to introduce our partner @uroweb.org, the European Association of Urology. Representing 20,000+ members worldwide, it supports urologists through research, education & clinical guidelines, and contributes to STRONG-UR via dissemination & networking. Read more➡️ uroweb.org #Urology

🚨 We will join the Light 3D Summer School 2026 (21–26 June) in Ascona, Switzerland. STRONG'UR's coordinator, Pablo Pennisi (@aau.dk), will present our work on innovative bioprinting strategies advancing biofabrication and regenerative medicine. More👉 www.strong-ur.eu/news-events/... #3DPrinting

🔬Ethics matter in biomedical research. At STRONG-UR, our in vivo studies follow a strong ethical framework guided by the 3Rs: Replacement, Reduction & Refinement, balancing scientific progress with the highest standards of animal welfare. Learn 👉 www.strong-ur.eu/about-us/an-... #ResearchEthics

🧬A recent @uroweb.org article highlights how we are using 3D bioprinting and patient-specific biomaterials to create living urethral tissue, offering a less invasive alternative to traditional graft-based surgery. uroweb.org/news/the-cli... #3DBioprinting #RegenerativeMedicine

💡Early choices shape translation. At the NEOLIVER workshop, with @keratoprinter.bsky.social, #micro2macro, and @horizonluminate.bsky.social, we explored how early patient input, open clinician-regulator dialogue & regulation as design accelerate impact. Read more👉 www.strong-ur.eu/news-events/...
