On the 4th-5th March the 4th ISMST Basic Research Meeting was held at the Austrian Workers’ Compensation Board in Vienna. More than 100 participants from Europe, Asia and America participated in the meeting. Numerous abstracts about shock wave mechanisms and novel effects were presented. The meeting contained highly interesting keynote lectures about “Purinergic Signaling” (Wolfgang Junger, Boston, USA), “Micro-Particles” (Sean Davidson, London, UK), “Stem Cell Aging” (Günther Lepperdinger, Salzburg, Austria) and “Biophysical Signals” (Carlo Ventura, Bologna, Italy). The CARE Lab was part of the organizing committee of the meeting and contributed five abstract presentations.
