IPLASS is an international scientific organization which is open to scientists who are working in, or who have previously worked in the field of placenta-derived stem cells. IPLASS was established in 2009 by a group of fourteen scientists representing nine different Countries (USA, China, Australia, India, Italy, France, Belgium, Austria, Switzerland), with the purpose of becoming a worldwide networking platform for research into placenta-derived stem cells. The main objective of IPLASS is to promote research on all aspects related to knowledge, experimentation and clinical use of placenta-derived stem cells.To this end, IPLASS aims to create a network between the groups which are scattered all over the world who work on stem cells derived from placenta, and to bridge this placenta network with other existing networks focused on stem cell biology or therapeutic applications.​Additionally, IPLASS provides benefits and functions which are not provided by any other placenta-derived science societies operating at a national or regional level, including organization of a bi-annual meeting, maintenance of an informative web site and the promotion of a staff mobility action
Founded in January 2005, the Cell and Tissue Engineering Society of Slovenia (www.dctis.si) was established after a decade of dedicated efforts in the field of tissue engineering in Slovenia, culminating in the clinical application of autologous cartilage and bone cells. This field has developed rapidly and has become an important part of regenerative medicine worldwide, offering opportunities for effective restoration of normal tissue function. The main objective of the association is to promote links between Slovenian research and clinical institutions and individuals involved in cell or tissue engineering in various disciplines. The association firmly believes that solid cooperation between professionals in the fields of medicine, biotechnology, pharmacy and related sciences is essential to translate research results into tangible products for the benefit of society. In addition, the association follows professional progress in cell and tissue engineering at home and abroad, promotes the education and training of its members, supports scientific research projects and contributes to the development of Slovenian terminology in this field.
