报告内容简介:

Citric acid presents inherent anti-bacterial, anti-clotting, angiogenic characteristics and modulates cellular energy levels leading to facilitated stem cell differentiation, which make citrate-based biomaterials ideal for a number of medical applications. We have attained a comprehensive new understanding of the citrate roles on osteo-phenotype progression and identified a new mechanism pertaining to the metabolic regulation of citrate to elevate cell energy status for bone formation, referred to as citrate metabonegenic regulation. This previously unexplored citrate metabonegenic regulation has allowed us to design new biomaterials to meet the dynamic biological, biochemical, and biophysical needs in bone regeneration. In this presentation, a methodology for the design of biomimetic citrate biomaterials and their applications in regenerative engineering, drug delivery, bioimaging and biosensing will be discussed with a focus on orthopedic engineering.
