| COURSE DEFINITION | This course gives an overview of tissue engineering strategies to repair, replace and ultimately regenerate various tissues and organs. In this course, the principles underlying these strategies for employing selected cells, biomaterial scaffolds, soluble regulators or their genes, and mechanical loading and culture conditions, for the regeneration of tissues and organs in vitro and in vivo are addressed. Students are required to discuss recent research articles in the area. |
