VIDEO: Biogels boost targeted delivery of growth factor in severe wounds

DANA POINT, CALIF.– Materials science meets medicine. That’s the new frontier for many specialties, thanks to advances in the understanding of native tissue dynamics and how bioengineered materials will perform in vivo.

Sarah Heilshorn, Ph.D., of the department of materials science and engineering and the department of bioengineering at Stanford (Calif.) University, was one of several presenters at this year’s Summit in Aesthetic Medicine, with a focus on the use of synthetic materials for reconstructive surgery and treatment for acute and traumatic tissue injury.

In this video, Dr. Heilshorn explains how materials science and bioengineering are promoting angiogenesis to help patients who have suffered spinal injuries, chronic wounds, and conditions involving severe tissue injury at the meeting held by Global Academy for Medical Education. GAME and this news organization are owned by Frontline Medical Communications. She describes how revascularization, bone regeneration, and tissue growth are all possible through the use of highly specific and targeted biogels injected into the body to improve delivery of growth factors.

Dr. Heilshorn said she had no relevant financial conflicts to disclose.
