Bio-metals and Electronics assisted tissue regeneration

Timeslot: Wednesday, April 21, 2021 - 10:45am to 12:15pm
Track: Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine
Room: Virtual

About

Bio-metals are employed in various forms to substitute for damaged structural components and to restore lost functions within the human body for the purpose of tissue engineering/regenerative medicine. A favorable combination of tensile strength, fracture toughness and fatigue strength warrant their application in orthopedics, as artificial joints, plates and screws, in orthodontics and dentistry, as braces and dental implants, and as cardiovascular and neurosurgical devices, such as artificial heart, staples, stents, wires and coils. Compared to polymer and ceramic biomaterials, metals are characterized by higher electro-conductivity, and as such have been employed to enclose electrodes in artificial electronic organs. Lately, biodegradable metals emerged as a new generation of medical implants for regeneration. This symposium aims to highlight the latest developments of metals and their applications in tissue engineering/regenerative medicine.

BioInterfaces SIG

Timeslot: Wednesday, April 21, 2021 - 10:45am to 12:15pm
Track: Functional Biomaterials and Surfaces
Room: Virtual

About

The BioInterfaces Special Interest Group seeks to promote a better understanding of cell and protein interactions with biomaterial interfaces. To achieve these goals, the group organizes activities related to the evaluation of existing materials and the design of new materials to produce targeted responses by proteins and cells. Some of the topics related to proteins include: 1) relating surface chemistry to protein adsorption or specific binding and 2) studying the activation or inactivation of protein function at interfaces, including complement activation. Cell topics include: 1) the response of cells to differing chemistries and microstructures (roughness or porosity), 2) the evaluation of multiple cell and tissue response parameters (attachment, growth, migration, differentiation, inflammation, fibrosis), 3) the role of surface receptors in cell responses, and 4) all relevant cell types including bacteria. The group organizes workshops, symposia, and sessions at the annual meeting.

About

The purpose of this session is to highlight the research conducted by Black and Latinx in biomaterials, and to provide a safe and inclusive space for attendees to learn about the experiences of minoritized early-career biomaterials scientists and engineers and freely ask questions. The Session will begin with a brief introduction to the mission and role communities followed by research presentations by the invited speakers.

Translational organ-on-a-chip technology

Timeslot: Wednesday, April 21, 2021 - 10:45am to 12:15pm
Room: Virtual

About

The adoption of microfluidics, lab-on-a-chip, organ-on-a-chip, and other advanced in vitro three-dimensional (3D) modeling techniques are increasingly used in studying normal functions, disease state and developing drugs and theranostics. In addition to advantages they may offer over conventional in vitro cell culture and animal experimentation, these technologies have their own specific properties and limitations. Many approaches use the same biomaterials and microfabrication techniques, and some have advanced to commercialization, but there are still biomaterial and process-based risks which must be reasonably determined, addressed and reduced to an acceptable level. These emerging technologies are noted in priority by FDA, evidenced by participation in the NIH Tissue Chip Consortium and through FDA publications and meetings over the past several years. There are notable examples of products in different countries, and there has been early adoption in various research-level projects. The ultimate promise is the potential to use these technologies as an accepted drug testing modality, which when validated and standardized may largely reduce the use of experimental animals and reduce problems associated with two-dimensional (2D) cell culture models. Adoption will be reflected by industrial advancement of biomedical products well beyond the current limits. This special panel comprises presentations and a discussion focused on various translational considerations of 3D on-a-chip devices, including (1) advancing technology out of the lab, and (2) commercialization of technologies into products for broad clinical use. This will include also discussion of standards, safety, regulatory and funding aspects.
