  15. Tissue engineering in toothregeneration/replacement Dentition is important for feeding in vertebrates Aberrations in dentition or poor dental care is not life-threatening in developed countries But damage and loss of teeth may substantially affect quality of life

  16. Tooth development Reciprocal signaling events between the epithelium and underlying mesenchyme Initiation, morphogenesis and terminal differentiation Bud stage Epithelial cup (Encloses the mesenchyme) Bell stage Crownstage Crown Dentin Odontoblast Enamel Pulp Cementum Gingivalfiber Periodontal membrane Sharpeyfiber Alveolar bone Root Bloodvessel Neuralfiber

  19. Bioengineered tooth concepts Screening of tooth-forming cells 3D manipulation of single cells Transplantation of a bioengineered tooth germ Epithelial cells Bioengineered tooth germ Patient derived stem cells Mesenchymal cells Bioengineered tooth germ development Bioengineered tooth, prepared by in vitro culture Transplantation

  20. De novo tooth engineeringI Scaffold-based roots: Bio-artificial root implant that supports an artificial (porcelain) crown Cells grow inside the scaffold thus serving as a proper anchor Animal (porcine) model proved the applicability of this solution

  21. De novo tooth engineeringII Reproduction of embryonic tooth germs: Fully functional tooth by reproducing the embryonic tooth development Both roots and crown are formed Rodent experiments were successful Not only embryonic or newborn cells but also adult cells were able to recreate tooth Both scaffold and scaffoldless experiments

  23. Major causes of urogenitalinjuries Injuries or loss of function of the urogenital organs: Congenital malformations Trauma Infection, inflammation Iatrogenic injury

  24. Repairpossibilities of theurogenitalorgans • Autologousnon-urogenitaltissues • Skin • Gastrointestinalsegments • Mucosafrommultiple body sites • Allogen • Kidneygraftfortransplantation (cadaverorliving) • Cadaverfascia • Xenogenicmaterials • Bovinecollagen • Arteficialmaterials • Silicone • Polyurethane • Teflon

  25. Obtainingcellsfortissueregeneration Autologousorallogenic End stageorgandamagerestrictscellavailabilityfortissuerepair In vitro culturingresultsaredifferent In vitro culturedbladder SMC: lowercontractility Lowcellnumbermayhinderpossibilities Stemcellscan be thesolution Therapeuticcloning is alsomight be feasible

  26. BiomaterialsforgenitourinaryreconstructionI Arteficialmaterials Replacement of ECM functions: Providing 3D structure of tissueformation Regulation and stimulation of celldifferentiationviathestorage and release of bioactivefactors Injectingcellswithoutscaffoldsupport is noteffective

  27. BiomaterialsforgenitourinaryreconstructionII Naturallyderivedbiomaterials: Collagen Alginate Acellulartissuematrices: Bladdersubmucosa Smallintestinalsubmucosa (SIS) Syntheticpolymers: PLA, PGA, PLGA

  28. Uroepithel – uniquefeatures Excretionnotabsorption Recentmethodsfavorintestinalautograftsforurethra, ureterorbladderrepair The differentstructure and function of uroepithel and intestinalepitheloften lead tocomplicationswhichmay be severe

  29. Urethra reconstructionI Strictures, injuries, trauma, congenital abnormalities (hypospadiasis) Most often, buccal mucosa grafts are used for reconstruction: Graft tissue is taken from the inner surface of the cheek or lips The epithelium is thick and the submucosa is highly vascular This graft is resistant for infections

  30. UrethrareconstructionII Bladder-derived urothelium: Suitable for reconstruction in rabbits No human tests have been conducted Decellularized collagen matrices: The material is available on-demand Good results in „only” reconstructive surgery Results in strictures when tubularized reconstruction is needed

  31. UrethrareconstructionIII Decellularized and tubularized matrices seeded with autologousurothelium: Good results in animal models Constructs seeded with cells developed similar histological structure to that of uroepithelium Collagen matrices without cell seeding resulted in strictures

  32. BladderreconstructionI Most commonlyintestinal-derivedmucosalsheetsareusedforreconstruction: Intestinalepithelium is differentfromurothelium Designedtoabsorb and secrete mucus Complications: infection, urolithiasis, metabolicdisorders, perforation, increased mucus production, malignancies Because of disappointingresults, attemptsforalternativetreatmentsareperformed

  33. BladderreconstructionII Augmentation of bladder: Progressive dilatation of native bladder tissue in animal experiments Augmentation cystoplasty inanimals and humans with dilated urethral segments Better than the usage of GIT-derived segments

  34. BladderreconstructionIII Non-seededacellularmatrices: Xenogenic SIS → decellularizedcollagen-basedtissuematrix→ no musclularlayer Epithelization of thegraftconstructdidoccur Non-compliancebecause of thelackofmuscularislayer Matricesseededwithepithel and SMC: Successfulmuscularlayerformed, compliance is fair Scaffolds: combination of PGA and collagen

  35. Ureterreconstruction Animal studies for uretherreconstruction: • Non-seeded matrices facilitated the re-growth of the urethralwall components in rats • Stiff tubes like teflon were un-successful in dogs • Non-seeded acellular matrices proved to be un-successful to replace a 3cm long urethralsegment in dogs • Cell seeded biodegradable scaffolds gave more satisfying results in dogs

  36. Kidneyreplacementtherapy Currently two options are available for the treatment of end-stage renal failure (ESRF): Dialysis Kidney transplantation

  37. Dialysis • Hemodialysis, hemofiltration • Extracorporeal dialyzer unit: hollow fiber dialyzers are most commonly used • Anticoagulated venous blood is let through the dialyzer, countercurrent of dialysis solution is applied • Peritoneal dialysis • Dialysis solution is applied in the peritoneal cavity • Toxic metabolites and excessive water are removed from the patient via osmotic differences between the blood and dialysis solution • Cardiovascular, metabolic and musculoskeletal complications are frequent

  38. Kidneytransplantation Most often transplanted parenchymal organ Cadaver or live donor Offers an improvement in the life quality of dialyzed patients Implantation of allogenic grafts needs immunosuppressive treatment Side effects of immunosuppressive agents involve increased risk of infections and malignancies, kidney and hepatotoxicity, cardiovascular and metabolic side effects

  39. Tissue engineered kidney • Bioartificial approach: • Replace dialysis machines with bioartificial kidney • Extracorporeal devices/intracorporeal devices • Preclinical trials on dogs with porcine TE renal tubules: successful BUN and K control • However, the patient is still tied to an extracorporeal machine

  40.

  41. Tissueengineeredkidney • In vivo approach: • Human kidney cells were seeded onto a polycarbonate tubular construct • Upon implantation in nude mice the construct was extensively vascularized • Urine-like fluid production: urea and creatinine content • Epithelial cells showed signs of tubular differentiation
