Podcasts about biomaterials

In this In Case You Missed It (ICYMI) article read, we revisit an article published on the interiors+sources website titled, "Commercial Materials Industry Moves Closer to Scalable Biomaterials Solutions," on April 22, 2025, written by Kenn Busch. As you listen to this mini-episode, you'll learn about the sustainability discussions and trends in biomaterials at the Heimtextil textiles and interiors fair and uncover insights into the challenges and future prospects for biomaterials in commercial interiors, including: Biomaterials are defined as materials derived from waste or byproducts—not traditional natural materials with existing supply chains. Scalability remains the biggest barrier to widespread adoption of biomaterials due to limited supply and high production costs. Spinnova's fiber technology offers a rare example of a truly scalable, low-impact biomaterial solution. Promising prototypes like Agoprene and Piñatex face durability, performance, or supply challenges that limit mass adoption. A “Yes, and…” strategy encourages integrating biomaterials alongside traditional ones rather than replacing them outright. Natural variation in biomaterials should be embraced as a desirable aesthetic, not a flaw.

Are we finally saying goodbye to foam earplugs? In this episode of the Conscious Design Podcast, Lauryn Menard, Co-founder and CEO of GOB, joins host Ian Peterman to reveal how her team created the world's first home-compostable, biology-engineered earplug—made from mycelium, the root structure of mushrooms.

The difficulty common earplugs have conforming to each person's unique anatomy leads to frequent struggles with actually keeping these devices in our ears – not to mention the poor sound quality they create by blocking out only the top frequencies. Biomaterial professor and industrial designer, Lauryn Menard may very well be revolutionizing the future of earplugs, as she has pioneered a solution that not only resolves these issues but also provides a more sustainable option for our environment. Her company GOB has created aerial mycelium foam earplugs that conform to each person's ear shape and dampen all frequencies for a balanced & comfortable listening experience. In this episode, Lauren touches upon the journey that led to the creation of GOB, strategies the company is using to successfully market their product to consumers, and upcoming venue partnerships.

Vicent : Polypeptide-Based Nanomedicines: Enhancing Tropism and Overcoming Biological BarriersMaría J. VicentProfesseur, CIPF ValenceRésuméPolypeptides play a crucial role in areas like nanomedicine, where their biological function is governed by intricate structural features. Studying structure-activity relationships is essential to optimize polypeptide-conjugate designs, as minor structural changes can lead to unexpected yet highly effective biological outcomes. We have addressed traditional synthetic limitations by using controlled NCA polymerization and rigorous characterization, producing well-defined architectures. Post-polymerization modifications introduce various functional groups and orthogonal reactive sites, enabling a wide range of polypeptide configurations, such as diblock copolymers and star-shaped structures. These can self-assemble into supramolecular nanostructures with unique biological properties, including tissue specificity, subcellular targeting, and potential brain delivery. Through a bottom-up strategy and the strategic design of polymer-drug linkers, in vitro and in vivo assessments have shown these systems to be non-toxic, with enhanced cellular uptake and extended half-life and accumulation in specific tissues like lymph nodes, mitochondria, and the brain. These findings position our polypeptide-based nanosystems as promising therapeutics.María J. VicentProfessor María J.

The occurrence of the 20 essential amino acids in food-based amyloid fibrils derived from inexpensive animal and plant proteins, including from food waste, combined with the extreme aspect ratio of the amyloids, allow for an affordable, yet universal toolbox to produce multifunctional hybrids which can serve in a multitude of applications and technologies. In this talk I will provide several examples of food amyloid fibrils interacting with metal ions and nanoparticles for both health and environmental remediation, some of which have made it into real technologies. Taking β-lactoglobulin amyloids as a model amyloid system derived from whey, a by-product of cheese making process, I will show how metal ions can be adsorbed from water and wastewater solutions by amyloid-based filters for water purification purposes, or how gold ions can be adsorbed and processed from amyloid aerogels to recycle gold from e-waste. I will also show how iron atoms can be coordinated to β-lactoglobulin amyloids to deliver highly bioavailable Fe(II) for iron fortification, or to design hydrogels capable of performing cascade enzymatic reactions for alcohol detoxification in vivo.

Advanced nanodevices may overcome some of these limitations. This will be illustrated by several advanced nanomedicine platforms: The design of biodegradable doxorubicin-loaded polyalkylcyanoacrylate nanoparticles for the treatment of the multidrug resistant hepatocarcinoma (a nanomedicine with phase III clinical trials ended).The construction of nanoparticles made of metal oxide frameworks (NanoMOFs), a highly hyperporous material obtained by the complexation of iron oxide clusters with diacids.The "squalenoylation", a technology that takes advantage of the squalene's dynamically folded molecular conformation, to link this natural and biocompatible lipid with drug molecules to achieve the spontaneous formation of nanoassemblies (100–300 nm). These squalene-based nanoparticles are using the circulating LDL as "indirect" carriers for targeting cancer cells with high expression of LDL receptors. The application of the "squalenoylation" concept to the treatment of cancer and neurological disorders will be discussed too.Patrick CouvreurPatrick Couvreur is a Professor Emeritus at Université Paris-Saclay and a member of the French Academy of Sciences.

As polymer chains are grown from surfaces that are modified with initiators or chain transfer agents to mediate chain growth, this process ensures a unidirectional growth and net parallel alignment of the polymer tethers. These surface-grafted polymer brushes have a complex nanoscale structure that is characterized, amongst others, by a non-uniform segment density profile. This presentation will highlight 3 examples of surface-grafted polymer brushes with unique non-biofouling and lubrication characteristics, as well as piezo- and pyroelectric properties, which demonstrate the intricate relationship between nanoscale structure and properties for surface-grafted polymer brushes.Harm-Anton KlokHarm-Anton Klok is Full Professor at the Institutes of Materials, and Chemical Sciences and Engineering at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) (Lausanne, Switzerland).

To better understand its role, there is a clear need for model systems in which life-like properties can be installed. In this lecture I will discuss a synthetic cell platform composed of a complex polymer coacervate formed from oppositely charged amylose derivatives and stabilized by a semi-permeable polymer membrane. The coacervate structure resembles better the crowded environment observed in the cytoplasm than vesicular structures normally do. Cargo, such as enzymes, can be highly effectively loaded in the coacervates, based on complementary charge and affinity. This allows protocell communication with this robust synthetic platform. Using natural scaffolding proteins we can controllably take up and release proteins from the artificial environment, which mimics natural secretion. We have reconstructed the cellular architecture of a eukaryotic cell by incorporating multiple artificial organelles, both with membrane-bound and membrane-less architectures. Furthermore we have equipped the cells with an artificial cytoskeleton that allows us to modulate membrane dynamics and mechanical properties. Finally, we are able to incorporate life-like features such as motility in these structures, making this class of artificial cells a very versatile platform to study and mimic biological processes.Jan van HestJan van Hest obtained his PhD from Eindhoven University of Technology in 1996 with prof E.W. Meijer. After a postdoctoral stay with prof D.A. Tirrell, he joined the chemical company DSM. In 2000, he was appointed full professor in Bio-organic chemistry at Radboud University Nijmegen.

Olivier Visa, President and CEO of Evergen specializes in developing and manufacturing biomaterials for use in regenerative medicine. These customized biomaterial solutions use xenografts, allografts, and emerging technologies inside and outside the body with applications in wound healing, cardiac, dental, breast, neuro, and spine repair. This approach provides surgeons with a broader range of biomaterials to better tailor treatments for individual patients. Olivier explains, "There is a multitude that we can support. There is form and function, and I can give you a couple of examples of biomaterials in regenerative medicine. One is bovine pericardium, which is bovine collagen that we use for the development and manufacturing of cardiac heart valves. Another one would be acellular dermal matrix from human tissue that we use for reconstruction in plastic and, of course, with surgeries such as breast reconstruction after mastectomy." "Think about the body as a whole, and I'll give you a couple of examples where- when you're in cardiac - whether it's a patch or a valve, we're inside the body. When we're in breast reconstruction, we are totally inside the body. When we're in the neuro spine, we're totally inside the body, whether you're repairing or restoring or regenerating peripheral nerves or dura around the brain, you're inside the body. And yes, you are right, wound management is part of it, whether it's diabetic food, ulcer, ulcer or some form of a burn, then I would say you're looking at the skin as an organ and repairing, restoring, and regenerating that skin." #Evergen #TissueEngineering #RegenerativeMedicine #CDMO #Biomaterials #Biotechnology #LifeSciences #MedicalDevices #SportsMedicine #Orthopedics #Surgeons evergenbio.com Download the transcript here

BUFFALO, NY - February 25, 2025 – A new #research paper was #published in Oncotarget, Volume 16, on February 18, 2025, titled “Leukopenia, weight loss and oral mucositis induced by 5-Fluorouracil in hamsters' model: A regenerative approach using electrospun poly(Lactic-co-Glycolic Acid) membrane." Researchers from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and Brazilian Center for Research in Physics have investigated a novel approach to treating oral mucositis, a painful and debilitating side effect of chemotherapy. Led by first author and corresponding author Ana Chor, the study examined the effectiveness of an electrospun poly (Lactic-co-Glycolic Acid) (PLGA) membrane in promoting tissue regeneration in an animal model of chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis. The findings suggest that PLGA membranes, particularly when combined with the body's own healing cells, significantly accelerate the recovery process and reduce inflammation. This promising discovery could lead the way for improved treatments for cancer patients experiencing severe mouth ulcers during chemotherapy. Oral mucositis affects many cancer patients undergoing 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) chemotherapy, often leading to difficulty in eating, drinking, and speaking. Despite its prevalence, effective treatments remain limited. In this study, researchers applied electrospun PLGA membranes to 5-FU-induced ulcers in hamsters. Some of these membranes were infused with autologous mesenchymal cells—cells taken from the animal itself—to enhance the healing process. The study showed significant results, as ulcers treated with PLGA membranes containing autologous cells healed completely within six days, along with reduced inflammation and the formation of new blood vessels essential for tissue repair. While PLGA membranes without added cells also contributed to healing, the recovery process was slower. "This innovative approach holds significant therapeutic potential, as it utilizes the host's mesenchymal cells and nanotechnology tools to design a scaffold that mimics the organism's microenvironment." These findings highlight the potential of using bioengineered materials to treat chemotherapy-induced oral lesions. While further research is necessary before this approach can be tested in clinical settings, the study provides a strong foundation for future investigations. If successfully translated to human treatment, this technique could significantly improve the quality of life for cancer patients by offering a more effective solution for managing chemotherapy-related mouth ulcers.

Host Alyson Stanfield discusses the benefits and strategies of a daily creative practice with Helen Hiebert, who constructs installations, sculptures, films, artists' books, and works in paper using handmade paper as her primary medium. This conversation acknowledges the value of a daily practice, but Helen is a strong advocate for what she calls “intermittent daily practices.” If sticking to a daily routine forever feels daunting, her approach might resonate with you. There's also a dive into Helen's realization that as a teacher, she could maintain the same class structure while creatively evolving the content to keep it fresh and exciting over time—primarily to prevent herself from getting bored. She emphasizes the importance of focusing on the act of making—without obsessing over the final outcome. 04:00 Helen's Income Streams Update [ see Transform Your Creative Ideas into Multiple Income Streams with Helen Hiebert (ep. 18) ] 06:14 Daily Practice and Paper Weaving 22:30 Teaching and Online Classes 26:10 The Different Types of Students 26:42 Keeping the Class Interesting 28:17 Innovative Teaching Methods 32:49 Tips for Sticking to a Daily Practice 37:43 The Importance of Community and Accountability 45:41 Concluding Thoughts and Upcoming Events

This throwback episode features Dr. John Burgess. I heard of his recent passing and thought it would be very appropriate to replay a spectacular interview I was privileged to have with him back in 2022. Do you have advice that you've heard that you use on almost every single procedure? I do. And it came from today's guest, Dr. John Burgess. Dr. Burgess is the assistant Dean for Clinical Research at the University of Alabama at Birmingham as well as Director of the Graduate Biomaterials Program and was recently featured on the main stage at the Spear Summit 2022.  But I heard John at the Spring Vedder society meeting some years back and some of the things he said have stayed with me to this day. It was a true pleasure to get to talk with John about what he does, how materials research should be done and how dentists can be better at understanding materials. How does someone get in to biomaterials research? Clinical research at LSU How to find unbiased information...how do we evaluate literature? Is the research measuring what they think it's measuring? Bevels on posterior composites? How do we test this? (spoiler alert: don't bevel occlusal margins) The best material is "abuse tolerant." How do patients get screened for clinical research? NCCLs (noncarious cervical lesions) and the controversy surrounding them New chemistry Read the instructions more often than you think you should! "Dentists don't read" Manufacturers take their instructions very seriously...you should, too. Burgess on zirconia Designing research equipment on a napkin Zirconia is very kind to the opposing when polished Cementing zirconia crowns Cement removal...he REALLY likes Panavia SA Universal Polish vs. glaze on zirconia (glaze facial on premolars) The power of a credible speaker and disclosure of honoraria Some links from the show: Dr. John Burgess' website Spear Practice Solutions Panavia SA Universal Axis by Kerr zirconia polishers Join the Very Dental Facebook group using the password "Timmerman," Hornbrook" or "McWethy," "Papa Randy" or "Lipscomb!"
