This online real-time presentation focused on the design of new biomaterials for the creation of tissues and organs critical to the advancement of tissue engineering.

Approaches involving the synthesis and application of bioerodible polymers to serve as implantable scaffolds for mammalian cells to create new tissues and organs are critical to advances in tissue engineering. This presentation will cover the design of new materials, in particular, synthetic polymers with specific ligands attached to them, photopolymerized materials, shape-memory degradable polymers, and materials with reversibly switching surfaces-with applications in tissue engineering.

This seminar will also examine the use of materials coupled with human embryonic stem cells or other cells, and the application of these to the creation of new tissues. This approach has been successfully used to create a variety of animal and human tissues, such as liver, skin, nerves, blood vessels, and cartilage.

The 1½-hour presentation addressed:

  • The role of bioerodible materials in tissue engineering
  • Unique challenges at the stem cell-biomaterial interface
  • Application-specific multi-parameter material design
  • What developments lie on the horizon?

An extensive Q&A session, with worldwide participation followed.
