Outline of three lectures on Irreversible Healing of Extracellular Matrix. A. Irreversible healing of ECMs in different organs. B. Structure and function of naturally occurring ECMs. C. Synthesis of biologically active ECM models

BIOMATERIALS-TISSUE INTERACTIONS: \Tools\ for Understanding the Molecular, Cellular, and Physiological, Bases of the Tissue Response to Implants M. Spector, Ph. D. and I. V. Yannas, Ph.D. BIOMATERIALS-TISSUE INTERACTIONS

Outline 1. Irreversible injury 2. Regenerative and nonregenerative tissues 3. Antagonistic relation between contraction and regeneration 4. Present theory: Selective inhibition of contraction necessary but not sufficient for regeneration 5. Mechanism

B. Cell-Matrix Interactions A. How cells pull onto and deform the matrix to which they attach themselves. B. Cell-matrix interactions control the spontaneous closure of wounds in organs. C. What happens when regeneration is induced?

UNIT CELL PROCESSES Concept of a \Control Volume\ around a Cell Soluble Regulator Cell Matrix

CELLS FOR TISSUE ENGINEERING/REGENERATIVE MEDICINE Autologous -Differentiated parenchymal cells of same or other tissue type -Stem cells (adult) Allogeneic

TISSUE ENGINEERING What is tissue engineering Production of tissue in vitro by growing cells in porous, absorbable scaffolds (matrices). Why is tissue engineering necessary? Most tissues cannot regenerate when injured or diseased
