Tissue engineering

5 important questions on Tissue engineering

Learning goals of tissue engineering.

  • Understanding the basics of tissue engineering (TE)
  • Discussing various methodologies on TE and ask research questions
  • Understanding the strengths and limitations of preclinical research and tissue engineering


Take home messages
• Select the appropriate research question and methodology
• Preclinical study design should be translatable
• Consider conditions mimicking target tissue and disease model
• Each design has its advantages and disadvantages
• Collaborate with experts in the other field

Describe the cycle of tissue engineering. What is needed?

  1. You take cells from the patient
  2. You cultivate this into 2D
  3. You seed it into a 3D scaffold
  4. You add => growth factors, small molecules, nanoparticles, cells
  5. Tissue will organize itself
  6. Transplantation

What is the problem with the permenant implants for the prolapse?

Adverse events: Pain, Exposure, Scar formation
NON-DEGRADABLE IMPLANTS!!!
  • Higher grades + faster learning
  • Never study anything twice
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding
Discover Study Smart

What are important secondary outcome variables?

  • What are the cell−implant interactions
  • How does the immune system react

What are strenghts of tissue engineering?

  • Personalized medicine (generate from the tissue of the patient itself)
  • Reduced rejection risk (compared to donor tissue)
  • Overcoming donor shortages
  • Regenerative potential (sustainable solution)
  • Reduced animal testing

The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:

  • A unique study and practice tool
  • Never study anything twice again
  • Get the grades you hope for
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding
Remember faster, study better. Scientifically proven.
