Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine A biomedical and classroom revolution
Tissue Engineering/Regenerative Medicine • It’s HOT! • It’s Relevant! • Everybody is a potential candidate for its application. • It helps answer the dreaded question: “Why do we have to learn all this stuff?” • It’s multidisciplinary, a new trend in science and education 3. It’s a ‘Burgh Thing!
Tissue structure and function may be compromised by: • Inherent design flaws • Hereditary/congenital defects or conditions • Disease • Trauma • Environmental influences/insults • Aging
Potential Solutions: • Surgical or physical manipulation • Drug therapy • Diet/lifestyle changes • Transplants • Artificial tissues/organs • Gene therapy • Tissue Engineering/Regenerative Medicine
