Title : Smart biomaterials in healthcare industry
Abstract:
Biomaterials have been employed in healthcare applications since ancient times. However, subsequent evolution has improved their versatility and utility. Biomaterials have transformed fields such as bioengineering and tissue engineering, enabling the development of novel strategies to combat life-threatening diseases. Some biomaterials have unique properties such as shape memory or self-healing, which are known as smart biomaterials.
SMART (Self-Healing, Multifunctional, Adaptive, Responsive, and Tunable) biomaterials are capable of responding to changes in physiological conditions and exogenous stimuli, and they continue to have an impact on many areas of modern medicine. Self-healing materials, for example, have been used to create implants, wound healing scaffolds, and drug delivery systems based on natural regeneration mechanisms. Consequently, there are a lot of potential for revolutionizing biological applications from the continued developments in SMART materials. The development of materials with improved properties and capabilities is anticipated to be greatly aided by the advancement of nanotechnology, biomaterials, and bioengineering. Precision medicine and personalized healthcare could unlock new possibilities as SMART materials are combined with cutting-edge technologies like gene editing, 3D printing, and microfluidics. To get around the current barriers, researchers, doctors, regulatory bodies, and industry partners must work together to successfully translate SMART materials from the lab to the clinic. Furthermore, smart materials have the potential to advance promising treatments and enhance the management of crippling illnesses. In this presentation, we'll explore recent developments in the state-of-the-art design and use of smart biomaterials in immune engineering, medical devices, tissue engineering, and drug delivery systems.
