Micro-mass cultures of C3H-10T1/2 cells at varied oxygen tensions stained with Alcian blue. A commonly applied definition of tissue engineering, as stated by Langer [3] and Vacanti, [4] is "an interdisciplinary field that applies the principles of engineering and life sciences toward the development of biological substitutes that restore, maintain, or improve [Biological tissue] function or a ...
A major technology of regenerative medicine is tissue engineering, [2] which has variously been defined as "an interdisciplinary field that applies the principles of engineering and the life sciences toward the development of biological substitutes that restore, maintain, or improve tissue function", or "the creation of new tissue by the ...
He co-founded the journal Tissue Engineering [19] and was the founding president of the Tissue Engineering Society (which evolved into TERMIS), co-founded in 1994 with Charles Vacanti, Joseph Upton of the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School, Tony Atala of Boston Children’s Hospital, Mark Randolph of the ...
Regenerative medicine deals with the "process of replacing, engineering or regenerating human or animal cells, tissues or organs to restore or establish normal function". [1] This field holds the promise of engineering damaged tissues and organs by stimulating the body's own repair mechanisms to functionally heal previously irreparable tissues ...
Charles Alfred "Chuck" [1] Vacanti (born 1950) is a researcher in tissue engineering [2] and stem cells and the Vandam/Covino Professor of Anesthesiology, Emeritus, at Harvard Medical School. [3] He is a former head of the Department of Anesthesiology at the University of Massachusetts and Brigham and Women’s Hospital , now retired.
Muscle tissue engineering is a subset of the general field of tissue engineering, which studies the combined use of cells and scaffolds to design therapeutic tissue implants. Within the clinical setting, muscle tissue engineering involves the culturing of cells from the patient's own body or from a donor, development of muscle tissue with or ...
A decellularized aortic homograft. Decellularization (also spelled decellularisation in British English) is the process used in biomedical engineering to isolate the extracellular matrix (ECM) of a tissue from its inhabiting cells, leaving an ECM scaffold of the original tissue, which can be used in artificial organ and tissue regeneration.
