Engineered Microenvironments to Model Cancer

Timeslot: Saturday, April 14, 2018 - 10:15am to 12:15pm
Track: Wound Healing and Cellular Microenvironment
Room: Grand Ballroom D

About

Biomaterials have been invaluable tools for understanding how cells respond to their microenvironment in both health and disease. Here, we invite contributions that develop biomaterial platforms for cell culture or tissue engineering. Session topics include the following: understanding of the mechanisms that determine cellular responses to disease/injury, determining how biophysical and biochemical cues alter cellular behavior in 3D, identifying differences between 2D and 3D microenvironments in mediating cellular phenotype or response to treatment, developing complex tissue microstructures/organioids, culturing multiple types of cells within complex microenvironments, driving or enriching specific populations, developing improved approaches for utilization of patient derived or difficult to culture cells, drug screening within engineered microenvironments, and engineering microenvironments for therapeutic purposes.

Materials for Cardiovascular Devices and Blood Compatibility

Timeslot: Saturday, April 14, 2018 - 10:15am to 12:15pm
Track: Biomaterials Applications
Room: 208/209

About

Thrombosis is often a major concern with cardiovascular medical devices such as stents, vascular grafts, heart valves, pacemakers, defibrillators, ventricular assist devices, cardiopulmonary bypass, and artificial heart. Although significant progress has been made in developing and using a wide variety of metallic, polymeric, ceramic, and natural biomaterials for making cardiovascular medical devices, still the blood compatibility of these devices remains an issue. This symposium will focus on (i) recent developments in cardiovascular biomaterials for improving blood compatibility? (ii) the development of novel biomaterials for cardiovascular medical device applications? (iii) novel coatings and surface modification technologies for improving blood compatibility? (iv) recent developments in in vitro and in vivo evaluation of blood compatibility of biomaterials and medical devices? (v) clinical evaluation of cardiovascular medical devices? (vi) novel approaches to improve endothelialization of cardiovascular implants and devices.

Supramolecular Design of Network Biomaterials

Timeslot: Saturday, April 14, 2018 - 10:15am to 12:15pm
Track: Biomaterials Fabrication and Analysis
Room: 206/207

About

The preparation of biomaterials using rationally designed motifs rooted in supramolecular chemistry (i.e., "chemistry beyond the molecule") affords properties that are reversible, highly tunable, and dynamic, and as such has become an exciting new direction in the field of engineered biomaterials. The reliance on specific, noncovalent interactions affords opportunities in developing materials with “smart” functionality and activity that can be tuned in response to disease or application, and as injectable surrogate matrices for cells. Moreover, conserving the specific supramolecular motif realizes a modular approach to customize a biomaterial in a patient or disease specific way. These efforts have resulted in a suite of new and highly functional network biomaterials for applications in stem cell biology, regenerative medicine, tissue engineering, and drug delivery. In each case, unique features rooted in supramolecular design give rise to important emergent properties.
