Abstract

The 3rd International Bone Marrow Adiposity Society (BMAS) Summer School 2025 gathered young basic and clinical researchers to advance their knowledge of bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT). The virtual BMAS Summer School 2025 consisted of panels featuring keynote speeches, workshops, career development lectures, and panel discussions. A total of 19 speakers and 50 attendees participated in the event. The program included sessions on BMAT characterization, mechanosensitivity, metabolism, relationships with the skeletal and hematopoietic systems, and nutritional interventions. Workshop sessions provided knowledge on ex vivo culture systems, single-cell and nucleus resolution techniques, as well as advanced and clinical imaging. The virtual format enabled accessible international participation, creating a structured environment for young researchers to share research, develop skills, and build new connections.
