报告内容摘要：

学习自然，模拟自然是人类创造各种工具的一个基本方法。王勇教授的团队以核糖核酸和水凝胶为基本结构单元制备出系列仿生材料模拟细胞外基质、植物细胞壁、三维细胞组织等。在该报告中，王勇教授将以仿生细胞外基质和植物细胞壁为例探讨几个再生医学和细胞治疗中的问题和解决这些问题的新思路。 例如，王勇教授将会探讨如何利用核酸适配体合成了仿生材料，并如何利用这类仿生材料实现蛋白质药物可控释放。

Learning from nature is a fundamental principle to create novel materials and tools. Prof. Yong Wang’s research is focused on the application of nucleic acids and hydrogels to develop biomimetic extracellular matrices, cell walls, tissue constructs, etc. In this talk, Prof. Wang will use biomimetic extracellular matrices and cell walls as examples to address several important questions in the fields of regenerative medicine and cell therapy. For example, Prof. Wang will present the methodology of preparing biomimetic materials by using nucleic acid aptamers and the feasibility of using these materials to control protein release for regenerative medicine.
