3C: Fibrous Biomaterials for Tissue Engineering

Timeslot: Thursday, April 20, 2023 - 10:30am to 12:00pm
Room: Silver Pearl 3

About

As tissue engineering and regenerative medicine aims to recapitulate native microenvironments, fibrous biomaterials are being developed with great success. The fibrous nature of the biomaterials mimics the fibrous extracellular matrix. This session will highlight the design, fabrication, characterization and use of fibrous biomaterials for use in those applications. We will include both natural and synthetic polymer approaches, as well as functional characterization and analysis of the fibrous biomaterials. Additionally, we are soliciting abstracts that detail the design and fabrication of fibrous biomaterials for any tissue engineering application.
