This course is a continuation course after Tissue Engineering I, and allows the student to explore the various clinical application areas of tissue engineering in more detail.
Application areas will covered in case studies presented by researchers and clinicians working in the field. Various aspects of developing tissues will be covered for each tissue type, such as cell sourcing, growth factors required, scaffold materials and designs being used, growth conditions in bioreactors, phsyical and biofunctional characterization required of the forming tissue, methods to evaluate the growing tissue, etc. Students will have the opportunity to study a particular tissue type in more detail through the project work which will be carried out during the reading period.
This course is the continuation course to Tissue Engineering I and covers the following topics:
- Clinical Implementation of tissue engineering: Host integration
- Cell and tissue properties
- Characterization of growing tissues and cells,
- Gene therapy and drug delivery
- Stem cells
- Tailoring of biomaterials for scaffold optimizationj
- Producing TE products
- Ethical issues with TE
- Regulatory issues of TE products
