Dr. Nakayama received her Ph.D in Biomedical Engineering from the University of California, Davis. Her research is aimed at vascular regeneration in both cardiovascular and musculoskeletal tissues through the manipulation of biological, chemical, spatial, and mechanical properties of the extracellular matrix (ECM) to direct cellular behavior. In this talk, Dr. Nakayama will discuss the role of nanoscale spatial patterning of extracellular matrix proteins in modulating endothelial and myogenic cell phenotype and function to improve angiogenesis, resist atherogenesis, and promote muscle regeneration and revascularization. In one example, by complexing pathological flow profiles with nanotopographical cues, Dr. Nakayama demonstrates that nanoscale ECMs can direct endothelial cell morphology, motility, and resistance to inflammation\/monocyte adhesion even in the presence of complex disturbed shear stress. In another example, to mimic the physiological composition and structure of native muscle, Dr. Nakayama employs engineered skeletal muscle using nanofibrillar aligned scaffolds to enhance muscle regeneration, vascular perfusion, and cell survival in a traumatic muscle injury model. These examples will be discussed in the context of translational vascular grafting and muscular tissue engineering to ultimately serve as functional replacements for tissues damaged by trauma and disease.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EBIOGRAPHY\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EKarina H.
