CICECO SPOTLIGHT: João Mano highlights the rise of Bio-Inspired Materials

CICECO SPOTLIGHT is the communication science series of the Aveiro Materials Institute of Aveiro.

João Mano, a full professor, and his team are engineering living constructs to stimulate tissue regeneration where the body cannot heal on its own. There are various methods to shape and build these living materials, such as 3D bioprinting and bioengineering small units like microbiomaterials. These techniques are applied for therapeutic purposes, including implanting and regenerating malfunctioning organs, or creating constructs that mimic the biology of diseases (like tumors) to test potential treatments.
