Eleven years after the last event, our society's annual meeting will take place in Dresden again in fall 2014. We will meet at the Center for Regenerative Therapies at TU Dresden,
located near the old town and the medical campus in Dresden Johannstadt. The conference begins on Wednesday, October 8, with the Young Scientist Event, organized independently by the Young Scientists' Association (YFS) of the German Society for Biomaterials (DGBM).
The scientific program begins on Thursday, October 9, in the morning, and ends on Saturday, October 11, around noon. The conference offers a unique opportunity to exchange the latest findings in biomaterials-related research in Germany and abroad. It is intended to provide a platform, especially for young scientist.
Our presentations:
"Collage-like Peptides in Dynamics: Comparing Computer Models to Real Experiments" - Farid Lukas Hassine
This presentation will present possibilities for molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of collagen-like peptides and associated denaturation experiments.
This presentation will also provide an outlook on possible future applications. The aim of this presentation is to familiarize scientists with less experience with simulations with the topic.
"Collagen-Based Microfiber Scaffolds Enable Long-Term Structural Integrity in Textile-Like Constructs for Engineered Muscle Tissues" - Evelyn Knappe
This study presents a new method in which cell-laden microfibers are produced by 3D printing and woven into stable 3D scaffolds using textile-based techniques to develop artificial muscle tissue. Various hydrogel bioinks were tested, with collagen-based fibers proving particularly mechanically stable and suitable for long-term culture. The results demonstrate high cell viability, parallel muscle cell orientation, and the formation of endothelial structures, highlighting their potential for use in the treatment of muscle tissue loss.
"Plasma-Assisted Ultrathin Collagen Coating for Enhanced Bone-Implant Integration" - Dr. Ina Prade
This study presents a new plasma-assisted method for depositing ultrathin collagen layers on implant surfaces. The coating is mechanically more stable than conventional coatings and improves cell adhesion, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation. The approach offers a scalable, cost-effective method for optimizing osseointegration and reducing implant failure.
Our posters:
"Low-Temperature Sterilization of Thermolabile Biofunctionalized Implant Materials" - Marit Baltzer
Heat-sensitive and biofunctionalized materials such as PLA and PCL in combination with growth factors cannot be sterilized using commercial methods. Therefore, a low-temperature gas plasma sterilization method was further developed to treat sensitive, loaded implant materials, for example.
"Plasma-assisted microstructured silicone surfaces for medical products" - Dr. Frauke Junghans, Project partner: Leibniz Institute for Polymer Research Dresden (IPF)
Atmospheric pressure plasma processes are resource- and energy-efficient methods for surface structuring. By wrinkling the surface of silicones with optimized wavelengths, bacterial adhesion can be reduced. This wrinkling process can be transferred to 3D molded parts (tubes), which may be relevant for medical devices such as catheters.
"Multilayered GBR membranes with mucoadhesive and osteoinductive properties" - Dr. Claudia Dietze, project partner: TU Dresden, Institute of Textile Machinery and High Performance Material Technology (ITM), Dresden
Presentation of current results on the development of a multilayer GBR membrane with mucoadhesive and osteoinductive properties. This new type of resorbable membrane is intended to biomimetically map the transition from hard to soft tissue by means of a multilayer structure.
