Learning outcomes
This course summarizes the principles of an integrated tissue engineering (TE) approach. At the end of the course, the student - knows the general specifications of suitable cells and biomaterials and applicable culture protocols in dedicated devices (bioreactors); - overviewed the analyzes that allow to evaluate the in vitro maturation of the culture construct; - is aware of the regulatory framework governing its experimental and clinical use.
Course contents
Stem cells in tissue engineering (TE).
TE scaffolds: chemical, physical and biological properties of natural and synthetic biomaterials; scaffold fabrication methods; bioactive substance delivery; cell/biomaterial interactions (biocompatibility e differentiation assessment).
TE bioreactor systems: cell culture in bioreactors for TE; examples/applications.
