2nd Annual TISSUE ENGINEERING/REGENERATIVE HEALING/STEM CELL BIOLOGY | ||||
Cambridge Healthtech Institute (CHI)
, Pittsburg, Pennsylvania October 3-5, 1999 |

The ability to engineer or regenerate lost tissue due to injury, aging, disease, or genetic abnormality holds exciting promise. With the development of complex three-dimensional tissue constructs, scientists are beginning to meet clinical needs. The intricacies of this process require a multidisciplinary approach. Important advances in understanding missing growth factors or how to provide scaffolding for producing three-dimensional functional growth of engineered cells are critical for converting the promise of this exciting field into potential benefits. Applications include whole or partial replacement of organs, bones, cartilage, connective tissue, and cells required to produce necessary enzymes, hormones, or other metabolites for function. CHI’s 2nd Annual Tissue Engineering/Regenerative Healing/Stem Cell Biology is designed to bring together geneticists, molecular biologists, biochemical engineers, and other researchers with surgeons and physicians working for patients who could benefit from these advances. |
