From a clinical need a massive health care bill for organ loss and tissue failure
What is tissue engineering?
TE and regenerative medicine multidisciplinary fields that combine knowledge and technology from different fields to develop therapies and products for repair or replacement of damaged tissues and organs
What does the Tissue Engineering Vision look like?
Implantation → Cell Isolation → Cell Expansion → 3D scaffold → Tissue Development→ Implantation
What are the 3 Key Components of TE?
Cells, Scaffold/Materials, Microenvironment/Cell Culture
What has to be considered when discussing cells?
Availability, Where can we source cells
What has to be considered when discussing scaffold/material?
Important for 3D cell cultures
Which material and geometry?
Fabrication approaches defines geometry
What are the 3Rs of TE?
Replacement, repair, regeneration
Why is engineering skin is easier than for other organs?
Accessible, Limited immune exposure, Minimal vascular requirement
Is TE thriving applied in vivo or in vitro
in vitro
How can engineers contribute to TE?
Collaborating with Biological scientist
