The EMRS 2013 Fall Meeting.
The conference will consist of 14 thematic symposia, plenary session and satellite events.
We cordially invite you to participate in Symposium J "Smart and responsive materials for engineering of connective tissues"
Tissue engineering (TE) is a prominent tool in regenerative medicine. Tissue engineering apply biological, chemical, and engineering principles toward the repair, restoration, or regeneration of living tissue by using biomaterials, cells, and factors alone or in combination Future advances in TE will depend on the evelopment of “smart” and responsible biomaterials that actively communicate with cells and participate in the formation of functional tissues.
Hot topics to be covered by the symposium:
Biomaterials for tissue engineering
Polymeric and composite scaffolds
Nanofibrous scaffolds
Hydrogel scaffolds
Natural Derived Extracellular Matrix
3D scaffolds fabrications
Surface modifications
Growth factors delivering biomaterials
Characterization methods used in evaluation of the scaffolds
Numerical methods used in scaffolds design and evaluation
