  • Th2 T Cells Are Required for Biomaterial-Mediated Functional Muscle Regeneration
    TH2 T CELLS ARE REQUIRED FOR BIOMATERIAL-MEDIATED FUNCTIONAL MUSCLE REGENERATION by Kaitlyn Noelle Sadtler A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland March, 2016 © 2016 Kaitlyn Sadtler All Rights Reserved Abstract Regenerative medicine therapies that primarily target stem cells have achieved limited success. An alternative strategy is to focus on immune cells, the first responders to traumatic wounds, which can interact directly with biomaterial scaffolds. Here, we investigate how biomaterial scaffolds shape the immune microenvironment in non- traumatic subcutaneous and traumatic muscle wounds (VML) and ultimately impact tissue regeneration. A diverse population of immune cells is recruited into scaffolds and the surrounding area, including macrophages, dendritic cells, T lymphocytes and B lymphocytes. The scaffolds induced a pro-regenerative type-2 response, which, in the VML is characterized by an mTOR/Rictor-dependent Th2 pathway and IL-4-dependent macrophage polarization, critical for functional muscle regeneration. Targeting the adaptive components of the immune system during the process of biomaterials design may support the development of future therapies that efficiently control immune balance in tissues, ultimately stimulating tissue repair. Thesis Readers Jennifer Elisseeff, Ph.D. Department of Biomedical Engineering, Johns Hopkins University Drew Pardoll, M.D. Ph.D. Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine ii Acknowledgements The past 3.5 years have been some of the most exciting, stressful, rewarding years of my life.

  • DEVELOPMENT of a REGENERATIVE MEDICINE STRATEGY for the TREATMENT of DUCHENNE MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY by Kenneth Michael Estrellas A
    DEVELOPMENT OF A REGENERATIVE MEDICINE STRATEGY FOR THE TREATMENT OF DUCHENNE MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY by Kenneth Michael Estrellas A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland March 2017 © 2017 Kenneth Michael Estrellas All Rights Reserved Abstract Despite decades of work, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) remains a deadly disease with no cure. Recent advances in stem cell biology, immunology, and bioengineering suggest an interdisciplinary approach to the treatment of DMD. Towards this end, we created a multifunctional hydrogel composed of hyaluronic acid and skeletal muscle extracellular matrix that is cytocompatible, injectable, and biodegradable. The hydrogel facilitates the controlled release of myostatin inhibitors in vitro and increases their bioactivity in vivo. The hydrogel also promotes macrophage polarization towards CD206 expression, elevates anti-inflammatory cytokine levels, and co-injection of hydrogel with myostatin inhibitor yields a significant increase in Foxp3+ regulatory T cells. Finally, human embryonic stem cell derived myoblasts transplanted with the hydrogel demonstrated greater survival at 7-10 days post-injection, and increased engraftment after 4 months in immunodeficient dystrophic mice. Overall, this study represents a promising advance in regenerative medicine therapies for DMD.

APRIL 3–6, 2019 • WASHINGTON STATE CONFERENCE CENTER • SEATTLE, WA WELCOME TO THE SOCIETY FOR BIOMATERIALS 2019 ANNUAL MEETING & EXPOSITION We would like to extend a warm welcome to everyone attending the Society For Biomaterials 2019 Annual Meeting & Exposition: The Pinnacle of Biomaterials Innovation and Excellence! Seattle has always been a high spot for global health, medical innovations, and cutting-edge biomedical research. Similarly, the Society has been the core hub for excellence in biomaterials by bringing together an international community of academic researchers, industry scientists, clinicians, regulatory professionals, and entrepreneurs to share knowledge and to learn recent developments in basic and applied biomaterials research. Seattle thus provides an excellent setting for the 2019 Society For Biomaterials Annual Meeting, which will be a “pinnacle” of biomaterials innovation and excellence to educate, learn, and collaborate across various scientific disciplines including materials science, biology, engineering and medicine for improving human health. This year, there are sessions/panels with a focus on “Biomaterials Technology in Industry” in the program. These sessions promote greater participation from industry while taking into account the need to maintain the integrity of proprietary information. In addition, SFB is building on last year’s success with “Thought Leader Symposia” that allow leaders from across the diverse disciplines represented in the Society to share their perspectives on unsolved questions and emerging future directions in the field.
