Bio-inspired materials for advanced characterization, regenerative medicine and therapy
Co-organized withUniversity of Lyon & University of Salento Chair: Stefano TACCONI, University of Lyon & Laura GIANNOTTI, University of Salento
Synthetic and natural bio-based materials have been classified as non-harmful to the human body and suitable for medical applications. In addition to being useful for prosthetics, drug delivery, diagnosis, therapy, tissue regeneration, and many other clinical applications, these bio-based materials can also be used for drug delivery, diagnosis, and therapy. Recent advances in our understanding of diseases and the increased availability of modern technology have opened up new opportunities for the use of bio-inspired materials. Bio-based materials can now be rapidly created and selected to target specific cells, change shape in response to external stimuli, deliver therapies and instruct tissue regeneration. In this scenario, this session aims to discuss the latest scientific ideas and technologies for the characterization and applications of smart macro- and nano-biomaterials for tissue engineering, remodeling and adaptation and their potential use for targeted therapy.
