Ateneo - UPO

The course focuses on the opportunities that nanotechnologies offer in the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.
In particular, surface modifications of scaffolds and smart systems for release of active release systems of active agents are discussed

Papers, reviews, chapters provided during classes

Knowledge and understanding of the main technologies to promote tissue regeneration through the creation of biomimetic scaffolds.
Knowledge of the main methods
based on nanotechnologies to improve or inhibit cell adhesion and for the release of active agents

Fundaments of chemistry, physics and biology

Classes. Slide presentation and videos

Written test:
Statments assessment and comments

Nano-structured particles and materials, nano and micro porosity, surface textures and their effects on tissue engineering and regeneration.
Sensors
Drug Delivery Systems
Systems for gene delivering

At the end of the course, the student must know the main properties of nanosized matter. The student must know the mechanisms through which nanodimensional matter interacts, favoring or disadvantaging the engineering and tissue regeneration
