Abstract

This talk aims to systematically present the current and expected synergies between artificial intelligence (AI) and additive manufacturing (AM) for advancing metamaterials and metamaterials-based devices with a special focus on the AI-enhanced design and AM of bioinspired, smart or multifunctional metamaterials in connection with healthcare. First, the talk presents the development of a conceptual engineering design methodology based on “constructive dialogues with generative AI” for creativity promotion in connection with metamaterials for healthcare. Second, the implementation and use of taxonomies and ontologies for describing the complex geometries of metamaterials is explained, as well as their applicability to taming generative AI tools for supporting metamaterials discovery and the ideation of
biomimetic devices and technologies. Third, the development and application of AI tools for predicting & controlling AM and post-processing results, with a clear focus on error minimization when manufacturing metamaterials, is presented. Finally, trends related to the automated generationand (bio)mechanical evaluation of bioinspired geometries and bio-metamaterials for personalized, high performance and smart or multifunctional medical devices are addressed.

Bioenergetic phenotypes in metabolic genetic diseases

Inherited diseases represent a vast group of pathologies resulting from variants in specific genes encoding different proteins, which directly or indirectly affect metabolic pathways or impair mitochondrial and cellular functions. Thus, genetic diseases, depending on which gene is involved, may generate subtle, mild, or severe metabolic phenotypes, caused by enzyme malfunction, structural or functional alterations in proteins or cofactors, or disruptions in cellular signaling or transport mechanisms. The consequences of deranged metabolic pathways can include: - The accumulation of compounds that may become toxic; - A deficiency or absence of the final products of metabolic pathways, leading to a shortage of essential substrates or disruptions in energy production; - The activation of alternative metabolic pathways, potentially producing secondary metabolites that are normally absent and may also be toxic. Emerging literature shows that bioenergetic defects, characterized by reduced energy availability or increased oxidative stress, lead to profound changes in fundamental processes such as mitochondrial biogenesis, mitophagy, and mitochondria–endoplasmic reticulum communication, with pathological consequences at both the cellular and organismal levels.

This Special Collection invites original research articles, reviews, and perspectives aimed at elucidating the mechanistic links between genetic variants and bioenergetic dysfunction. Contributions addressing how specific mutations directly or indirectly impact energy production systems, as well as studies exploring molecular and metabolic pathway alterations associated with these defects, are particularly encouraged.

Depending on where you are located, you may be able to publish open access at no additional cost to you. Researchers at many institutions such as Italy, France, Portugal, Spain, Germany and United Kingdom can publish open access in the journal at no additional cost.
