DESCRIPTION
Obtain an overview of tissue engineering in clinical medicine and biomedical research
Understand the role of emerging technologies and engineering and life science disciplines in tissue engineering
1) Review of current status of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine
Introduction to TE and overview of course objectives
2) Tissues morphological and functional units
Organization of cell into higher ordered structures
Dynamics of Cell-ECM Interactions
Analysis of the physicochemical processes that affect limit and control cells and tissues function.
- connective, muscle, nervous, and epithelial tissue
3) Organs morphological and functional units
Structural and dynamic interactions between mesenchyme and parenchyma
The role of tissue microenvironment, extracellular matrix and communication by growth factors
4) Designing tissue functional units
Stem cells and Genetic Engineering
5) Seminars on tissue recognition using virtual microscope.
6) "SPOC" about tissue engineering and regenerative medicine that wil firm up the continuous evaluation contents.
LABORATORY EXPERIMENTS: (Every student will perform 15 hours of practical sessions in UC3M bioengineering laboratories)
a. Use of conventional microscopy for the understanding of tissue structure.
b. Understand microscopic organization of Tissues into Organs and systems.
c. Tissue observation and image capture
d. Histology as a diagnostic tool
