Bioelectronic Devices & Conducting Biomaterials

Timeslot: Wednesday, April 21, 2021 - 12:30pm to 2:00pm
Track: Sensory Biomaterials and Tissues
Room: Virtual

About

Bioelectronics, electronics designed to interface with biology in vitro and in vivo, are an important class of biomaterials that are gaining significant interest. Bioelectronic devices include: (i) wearable sensors for health monitoring, (ii) in vitro diagnostics and biosensors that provide an electrical signal output proportional to an analyte, (iii) implantable devices (e.g. pacemakers, blood glucose monitoring, drug delivery, optoelectronics), (iv) electrophysiology (ECG, EMG, EEG) and (v) electrical stimulation of cells or tissues for tissue engineering, enhanced regeneration and therapeutic intervention. This symposium will highlight recent efforts in bioelectronic devices and electronically & ionically conducting biomaterials as well as their in vitro and in vivo application. Presentations will also cover material and fabrication advances for improved properties such as size, softness, flexibility, degradability, biocompatibility, and biointegration.

Biomaterials for Regenerative Engineering - 1

Timeslot: Wednesday, April 21, 2021 - 12:30pm to 2:00pm
Track: Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine
Room: Virtual

About

Due to disease, degeneration, or trauma, there is a tremendous need to repair damaged tissues and organs. Although surgical replacement can be performed to address this issue, the insufficient number of donors greatly limits the applicability of this approach. Therefore, it is essential to develop engineered multifunctional biomaterials to promote tissue regeneration. Regenerative engineering combines biomaterial-based approaches with stem cell therapies and developmental biology to regenerate or repair tissues and organs. This symposium will cover tunable biocompatible materials such as hydrogels, fibers, proteins, carbohydrates, nano/micro-porous scaffolds, and metals, to modulate cellular microenvironments. The biomaterials that can direct cell fate and promote differentiation will also be highlighted by this session. Moreover, the biomaterials that can facilitate drug delivery and immunomodulation will be covered through oral and poster presentations. Furthermore, we will include discussions for the development and commercialization of various medical devices such as blood contacting implants, prostheses, and pacemakers in the session. In addition to engineering approaches, we will provide discussions on clinical translation of biomaterial-based strategies. We will also include topics that are relevant to the rapidly changing circumstances associated with the Novel Coronavirus to improve patient putcomes. We expect that our interdisciplinary session including material science, chemistry, biology, engineering, and medicine will be of great significance to the clinicians, industry members and professors in academia.

Engineering Cells and Their Microenvironments SIG - 1

Timeslot: Wednesday, April 21, 2021 - 12:30pm to 2:00pm
Track: Engineered Microenvironments
Room: Virtual

About

This session will focus on research that describes biomaterials-based approaches for influencing cellular behaviors and fates, which include, for example, proliferation, differentiation, morphological state, motility, matrix production, and life/death. Advances in biomaterial technologies for engineering cells and their microenvironments play instrumental roles in discoveries ranging from elucidation of fundamental biological processes to translation of cellular and material systems to clinics and industry. Work in this area includes biomaterials and biomaterial systems that focus on controlling cells and their environments at the cell scale and talks will encompass engineering microenvironments, biomaterial-influenced cell signaling, technology used in stem cell manufacturing and differentiation, immunoengineering, and biomaterials for cell-based detection and diagnosis. Studies that will be highlighted will range from the development of biomimetic materials providing specific physicochemical cues that elicit desired phenotypic responses to work focused on applications of material systems at the cellular level, for example in cell-based and cell-focused therapies or in understanding the progression of disease, such as COVID-19.

Targeted and Stimuli-Responsive Biomaterials for Drug Delivery - 1

Timeslot: Wednesday, April 21, 2021 - 12:30pm to 2:00pm

About

Targeted and stimuli-responsive biomaterials, are promising for various applications in drug delivery. These "smart" materials can act rapidly at the site of interest while avoiding biological barriers, toxicity, and other potential detrimental effects. Many stimuli have been utilized to trigger stimuli-responsive materials including pH, temperature, ionic strength, chemical and/or mechanical microenvironment, redox potential, and light. Similarly, many targeting mechanisms ranging from passive (e.g., enhanced permeation and retention) to active targeting approaches (e.g., peptide ligands) have been integrated into targeted drug delivery systems. This session will focus on the development and use of such materials for applications including, but not limited to, cancer, infection, orthopedic diseases, cardiovascular disease, and autoimmune diseases.
