Jangho Kim, Ph.D
Multiscale Biomimetic Approaches for Regulation of Cell Function and Tissue Regeneration Jangho Kim, Ph.D. Chonnam National University Living cells are exposed to complex and functional microenvironment including soluble macromolecules, biophysical cues, and interactions between cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix (ECM). This suggests that the design and manipulation of engineered cellular microenvironments is of great important in a wide variety of biological applications such as fundamental biology, therapeutic and diagnostic research, stem cells and regenerative medicine, and developing in vitro disease models. Compared with the effects of soluble macromolecules and biophysical cues, the extent and importance of architecture of ECMs or tissues in defining cellular function are currently poorly understood. Namely, the architecture effects of ECMs or specific tissues are mainly neglected or minimized as a considering factor for most in vitro and in vivo experimentation. In this talk, I will present multidisciplinary efforts directed towards the development of multiscale engineered biomimetic systems for biomedical applications. Specifically, I will talk about i) our current efforts on developing a series of advanced multiscale patterned platforms inspired by the unique architectures of native tissues and ECMs that can provide cells the in vivo-like topographical cell environment, and ii) their applications for better understanding of the function of living cells and tissue regeneration without complex surgical treatments or tissue transplantation in combination with traditional molecular and cell biology approaches.
