Tissue engineering Guides d'étude, Notes de cours & Résumés

Tissue engineering (TE) A multidisciplinary field aimed at development of biological substitutes to restore, maintain or improve basic tissue function. Organ failure - From injury, disease or ageing. - Current treatments are surgical reconstruction, mechanical devices and transplantation. - Have limitations such as: lack of donors, diseased organs, rejection, limited suitability tests, reduced quality of life, don't grow with young patients (=> need more surgery), nonfunctional prost...

Ceramic scaffolds for TE application pyrolytic carbon, aluminium oxide (Al2O3), zirconium oxide Common characteristics of ceramics low elasticity and high young's modulus/mechanical stiffness brittle, bioactive and biodegradable Several ceramics have similar chemical and structural characteristics as... This results in... And so... minerals in bones high biocompatibililty enhanced osteoblast differentiation and proliferation improve bone regeneration

Biomaterialsa material intended to interface with biological systems to evaluate, treat, augment or replace any tissue, organ or function of the body. Can also be a solid material that occurs in and is made by living organisms such as chitin, fibrin or bone. Exclusively used in healthcare. Can make biomedical devices out of biomaterials. Requires properties as close to physical properties of tissue (flexibility and texture), stability, degradable (rate and mode of degradation), biocomp...
