Biomaterials for Regenerative Engineering 1

Timeslot: Thursday, April 28, 2022 - 2:45pm to 4:45pm
Room: Harborside Ballroom A-B, 4th

About

Regenerative engineering aims to develop functional, bioactive, and instructive biomaterials and approaches for the regeneration of tissues through a convergence of engineering, medicine, developmental biology, and stem cell science. This symposium will highlight recent trends in developing functional biomaterials that play an active role in controlling cellular behaviors and tissue regeneration. We will include different classes of biomaterials such as proteins, polysaccharides, synthetic polymers, fibers, metals, ceramics, and hydrogels for applications in regenerative engineering. This session will also highlight the biomaterials that can direct cell fate and promote differentiation. Moreover, the biomaterials that can facilitate drug delivery and immunomodulation will be covered through oral and poster presentations. During the symposium, translational strategies for handling these biomaterials from ‘Bench to Bedside’ will also be addressed. We expect that our interdisciplinary session, including material science, chemistry, biology, engineering, and medicine, will be of great significance to clinicians, industry members, and academia.

Bioprinting for Tissue Engineering: from Open Source to Commercial Platforms

Timeslot: Thursday, April 28, 2022 - 2:45pm to 4:45pm
Room: Laurel A-B, 4th

About

Some of the earliest work in 3D printing for tissue engineering utilized common inkjet printers that were hacked to be able to dispense biomaterial and cells. More recently, increasingly sophisticated technologies to build 3D constructs ranging from extrusion through microfluidics-based dispensing to electro-writing and spinning have been incorporated into commercially available bioprinters. This session will look to explore cutting edge research to develop novel bio-inks, create complex scaffold designs, etc. in the context of applying bioprinting technologies to tissue engineering. Abstracts are encouraged to be submitted by those working with self-built or open source bioprinting platforms as well as from those developing or using advanced commercially available systems. The goal of the session is to demonstrate a diversity of perspectives regarding technology development ranging from academia to industry.

Engineering Cells and Their Microenvironments 1 (SIG)

Timeslot: Thursday, April 28, 2022 - 2:45pm to 4:45pm
Room: Harborside Ballroom D-E, 4th Floor

About

The Engineering Cells & Their Microenvironments Special Interest Group focuses on approaches to alter cell microenvironments. These approaches can be used to control biomaterial-induced cell signaling to enable stem cell manufacturing and differentiation, immunoengineering, as well as for the development of biomaterials for cell-based detection and diagnosis. These biomaterial-based approaches can also be utilized to direct cellular responses (e.g., proliferation, differentiation, morphological regulation, motility, matrix production) without the addition of external growth factors, chemicals, or drugs, thereby mitigating potential side-effects and facilitating improved in vitro and in vivo cellular outcomes. This session will focus on translation of these techniques toward a variety of specific applications ranging from, but not limited to, tissue engineering for dynamic disease models and regenerative medicine to therapeutics and direction of stem cell differentiation. Studies that develop biomimetic materials which provide specific physicochemical cues (e.g., composition, topography, stiffness) to achieve a desired cellular response will also be highlighted.
