讲座摘要：

Nanoscience and nanotechnology are advancing rapidly and have made an enormous impact in the biomedical field. Using various nanotechnologies, nanobiomaterials are developed mainly along two directions: (1) nano-structured biomaterials, and (2) biomaterials of nanosizes or nano-feature(s). Nano-structured biomaterials can provide desired properties which are not attainable withconventional,micro-structured biomaterials. On the other hand,biomaterials of nano-sizes or nano-feature(s) can affect/direct cellular and tissue responses. Nano- or micro-sized biomaterials can be used as drug, biomolecule or gene carriers for the targeted delivery and controlled release. Nanomedicine emerged a decade ago, involving the use of nanotechnologies to detect and treat diseases.The nanoparticles, polymeric, metallic, ceramic or hybrid, are synthesized in different ways. Nanofibers are produced via electrospinning and

used for tissue engineering or controlled release applications. We have investigated various techniques, including 3D printing, for fabricating nanocomposite tissue engineering scaffolds.Stem cells have been used for studying both cell-scaffold interactions and targeted cell differentiation as well as for evaluating the scaffolds. This presentation will introduce our research in nanobiomaterials and their applications in nanomedicine and tissue engineering.
