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
Introduction. Chapter 1. Irreversible Healing of Extracellular Matrix. Chapter 2. Cell-Matrix Interactions. Chapter 3. Synthesis of Tissues and Organs. TEXT: I. V. Yannas. Tissue and Organ Regeneration in Adults. New York: Springer, 2001
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
C. 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?
