Stimuli-Responsive Materials for Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine

Room: Dover A-C, 3rd Floor

About

Stimuli-responsive materials allow for localized on-demand manipulation of the cellular microenvironment, providing unique opportunities to control cell behavior and fate. These responsive material systems have shown promise for applications in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine by enabling spatiotemporally-controlled presentation of mechanical properties, chemical cues, and other microenvironmental features. A variety of triggering stimuli, both exogenous and endogenous, have been explored to control these materials including light, ultrasound, electrical stimulation, and magnetic fields, as well as temperature, pH, and various chemical stimuli. This session will highlight recent advances in the development of stimuli-responsive materials for application in tissue engineering and regeneration, including, but not limited to, scaffolds for stem cell control, materials for guiding tissue development, dynamic "4D-patterned" materials, in vitro tissue/disease models, "smart" implantable scaffolds, and stimuli-responsive drug delivery platforms.
