Tissue Engineering Applications in Biomedical Engineering - Lecture 23

Explore the cutting-edge field of tissue engineering in this 42-minute lecture from Yale University's Frontiers of Biomedical Engineering course. Delve into the role of tissue engineering in facilitating healing, tissue regeneration, organ replacement, drug delivery, and as a model for studying human physiology. Examine specific examples from current research at Yale, including the generation of neo-tissues from hydrogel scaffolds seeded with cells, spinal cord healing techniques, and methods for controlling mechanical properties of newly grown blood vessels. Learn about the use of synthetic materials in tissue engineering, the in vitro cultivation of replacement blood vessels, and the application of tissue engineering in drug delivery control. Gain insights into the current progress and future potential of this rapidly evolving field of biomedical engineering.
