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
JOINT REPLACEMENT PROSTHESES Fit -Anatomy Function -Kinematics; Range of Motion Fixation Bone cement, bone interdigitation with an irregular surface, bone ingrowth into a porous coating Tribology
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?
