WHS General Session: Smart Biomaterials, Wound Dressings, and Drug Delivery Systems

This session will focus on the use of enabling nanotechnologies and smart biomaterials for regenerative engineering and tissue repair. Recent advances in the design of bio-inspired activatable dynamic biomaterials for modulation of the repair process and controlled delivery of genes, proteins, or metal organic frameworks to diabetic wounds will be discussed.
