Biomaterials and Scaffolds for Interfacial Tissue Engineering

Timeslot: Thursday, April 12, 2018 - 4:15pm to 6:15pm
Track: Tissue Engineering
Room: Grand Ballroom C

About

Musculoskeletal tissue interfaces are complex, heterogeneous tissues in which the specific spatial composition is tightly linked to biological function. Biomaterials for interfacial tissue engineering must therefore be designed to guide biomimetic tissue organization to regenerate functional constructs. This session will focus on novel biomaterials-based strategies to regenerate musculoskeletal interfaces with particular attention to approaches to control the spatial organization of chemical and/or physical cues to direct cell and tissue response locally and globally within a scaffold. These include advanced scaffold fabrication, biochemical functionalization, scaffold-cell interactions, physical and structural cues, spatial growth factor control, and stem cell lineage commitment for musculoskeletal tissue interface regeneration.

Therapeutic Strategies for the Treatment of Infectious Diseases

Timeslot: Thursday, April 12, 2018 - 4:15pm to 6:15pm
Track: Biomaterials for Immunity and Cancer
Room: 210/211

About

Greater than 25% of deaths worldwide are caused by infectious diseases. Rising drug resistance and lack in development of new classes of therapeutics have made it increasingly difficult to treat infections. There is a pressing need to engineer advanced antimicrobial therapeutics, delivery systems, and diagnostics that can rapidly and effectively treat and detect infections, while helping to control the spread of resistance. This session will focus on recent advances spanning industry and academia in novel therapeutic strategies for the treatment of bacterial, fungal, viral, and biofilm associated infections. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: antimicrobial surfaces and device coatings, novel antimicrobial molecules and macromolecules, antimicrobial nano- and micro-particles, and triggered, targeted, and responsive antimicrobial delivery systems. Given the critical importance of detecting infectious agents prior to treating them, new diagnostic technologies for infectious agents are also of interest.

Timeslot: Thursday, April 12, 2018 - 4:15pm to 6:15pm
Track: Biomaterials Fabrication and Analysis
Room: 204/205

About

Iodine and barium sulfate have been the only radiographic contrast agents used in clinical medicine for more than 50 years. However, developments in targeted nanoparticle imaging probes over last decade have brought about a renaissance in X-ray contrast media with potential to transform computed tomography into a molecular imaging modality. This session will highlight translational research on nanoparticle imaging probes for radiography, mammography, CT, dual-energy CT, and spectral (multi-energy) CT. Emphasis will be placed on the fundamental biomaterials science underlying the design and synthesis of nanoparticle imaging probes, their performance in imaging phantoms and preclinical models, and prospects for clinical and commercial translation.
