Hello everyone. This is Lei from the School of Health Sciences and Biomedical Engineering at Hebei University of Technology. It is my great pleasure to present at the Henry Stewart talks to share with you our recent research on the mechanical active biomaterials for tissue repair and regeneration. This is work we have been working for many years. Based on a very simple idea that if you can create a biomaterial that helps to actively respond to the in vivo mechano or mechanical response, this material can give you very special effects, in helping tissue repair and regeneration.

Today my talk is going to cover the following parts. We will first introduce background on how important the force is, the force or stress, how important it is in cells and tissues and also in the process of tissue regeneration. Then I will just share with you an inspirational study I had been conducting when I was a Ph.D. student, to show you why we are thinking of reconstructing mechano-active biomaterials or creating something that is automatically a response to in vivo mechanical environments, which is really helpful to tissue regeneration. Then, I will propose the hypothesis or maybe the definition of mechano-active biomaterials. Then I will give you a pilot study to show you how these, what we call mechano-active biomaterials, could help tissue regeneration, like the treatments for the myocardial infarction. And last, I would like to summarize this study.
