This course is intended to provide you with an introduction to
recent biomedical research activities in the area of tissue
engineering. The term "tissue engineering" has been coined to
describe the interdisciplinary field concerned with the study of
generation or regeneration of tissues. Researchers in this area
utilize knowledge of the molecular basis of cellular function and
interactions, in combination with fundamental engineering
principles, to gain insights into tissue structure and function, with
the purpose of developing bioartificial tissues or enhancing native
tissue function.
Course Objective
Course Requirement
Office Hours
Tissue engineering will ultimately have a more profound
impact than we can appreciate. It not only will modify the practice
of medicine and help elucidate mechanisms of developmental
biology, but also the potential to influence economic development
in the industry of biotechnology more than any single advance in
science or medicine during the last decades.
A challenge to the large-scale development and application
of tissue engineering is the immunological barrier. Improvements
in the understanding of immunology and the ability to trick the
host into thinking foreign cells are “self” may ultimately allow for
implantation of allograft or even xenograft cells to generate
functional tissue.
The class is going to give a basic principle to the students in
cell sources, cell-cell communications, stem cells, material for
scaffold, extracellular matrix for tissue engineering. This class is
intended not only as a class for engineering students and
students in cell biology, biotechnology, and medical courses at
advanced graduate level, but also as a reference tool for research
and clinical laboratories. I believe the students can have the
knowledge of tissue engineering after the class finished.
