Além disso, hoje em dia tais desenvolvimentos podem ser associados ao uso da internet e à automação de processos por inteligência artificial, chegando assim à 4ª Revolução Industrial. O conceito da Indústria 4.0 está diretamente ligado ao conceito de tecidos inteligentes, a partir de fatores como inovação, o que permite que as empresas tenham modelos de produção complexos, incluindo principalmente caráter sustentável e biotecnologias aplicadas. Além disso, tanto a 4ª Revolução Industrial quanto a biotecnologia podem ser correlacionadas em termos de bioimpressão 3D. Assim, o trabalho mostra um breve histórico das impressoras 3D e seu potencial em aplicações na área de engenharia de tecidos.

Considerable progress has been made in recent years in reducing costs and increasing the ease of gene sequencing and, ultimately, in activating or editing genes. In this context, discussions have been gaining prominence around Industry 4.0, in which new business models and intelligent processes for Biotechnology are evidenced. However, the challenges regarding the training and education of professionals are discussed, emphasizing the importance of a multidisciplinary education, unlike the more traditional nature of education in the areas of biology and sciences. These challenges can be partially transposed by strengthening the partnerships of universities and research centers with companies, in order to materialize in common projects, the demands of industries and the possibilities of transforming research projects into final products available to society. This paper presents a study on the impact of Industry 4.0 technologies on Biotechnology, and also presents the prospect of future professions with the influence of Industry 4.0. The results show that technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics and 3D printing are promising in the development and advancement of Biotechnology. New automated laboratories are under development. Also, regulatory issues require a great deal of study, and business models will need to be more efficient to generate the results needed for the development of new drugs, food, and research of new products related to health.","PeriodicalId":103125,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Advances in Medical Biotechnology - IJAMB","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121970399","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using literature reviews, analysing cases of companies that failed and others that remodeled themselves to survive the yearnings of the technological age, it was possible to obtain important results. The research was conducted in three parts: 1. historical contextualization guiding the reader on the main aspects and peculiarities of the Fourth Industrial Revolution; 2. definition, application and some examples of disruptive technologies; 3. confirmation of the impact of these technologies on work relations. The methods used were: hermeneutics, privileging theoretical studies and analysis of documents and texts and the deductive method, starting from existing laws and theories for the development of a logical reasoning to explain the central problem. Negative impacts of mass unemployment due to the replacement of human labor by highly technological machines cannot be stimated. These machines are part of what has been called disruptive technology, i.e., a product or innovative servant destabilizes competition, overcoming it in such a way that it promotes the rupture of existing models, ruining them. Professionals will be called to fill new jobs, with skills and competencies for Industry 4.0, whose interaction between man and machine will be essential.

The limitations involved in traditional 2D cell culture approaches and manual techniques for biomimetic generation have driven the use of innovative technologies such as 3D bioprinting. One of the main advantages of the bioprinted skin is the authenticity, scalability and reproducibility of tissues compared to conventional constructs, via precise positioning of multiple cell types and the inclusion of appendages. The models of bioprinted skins will serve as a platform for the development of new formulations, molecule testing, disease simulation, as well as an alternative to chronic wound biocuratives and clinical transplants.

Different types of cartilage coexist in the body: hyaline, elastic and fibrocartilage. Due to their different embryologic origin, they produce distinct extracellular matrix and therefore have specific functions according to their location. Cartilage is frequently subjected to many different lesions. Those include traumatic, metabolic and congenital forms, concerning all regions where this tissue is present: joints, head and neck area, intervertebral disks, etc. Increasing number of cancers also affects cartilage; especially in ear, nose and trachea. Unfortunately, this tissue has a poor regeneration ability. Few therapeutic options exist for cartilaginous lesions and most of them concern articular cartilage. They include micro fracture, autologous chondrocytes implantation, mosaicplasty, allograft and prosthesis. Ear and trachea are also targeted for reconstruction with lesser extent. Therefore, cartilage engineering highly addresses increasing number of pathologies associated to this tissue. In the last two decades, several trials were investigated using both progenitor cells and scaffolds. Even bone marrow derived stem cells were widely used and served as gold standard. Many progenitors from different areas are investigated for their capacity of chondrogenesis. On the other hand, biomaterials, natural and synthetic, are used to induce a 3D environment that allows proper growth and differentiation toward cartilage formation. Their characteristics depend on the location of the expected graft where porosity, biodegradability, ability to support strength and large scale use are the key points. Favorable environments are also needed to achieve appropriate chondrogenesis, including biochemical or mechanical stimuli and low oxygen tension. Bioprinting showed also encouraging outcomes in cartilage reconstruction with the investigation of several scaffolds.","PeriodicalId":103125,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Advances in Medical Biotechnology - IJAMB","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126260751","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
