Study
of tissue engineering applied to biomedical systems. Review of quantitative
cell and tissue biology, cell and tissue characterization, engineering methods
and design, and clinical implementation.
Discussion of cells and their behavior, followed by the effect of
external stimuli on cells. The
properties of the extracellular matrix will be studied. Specific cases of vascular tissue
engineering, cartilage tissue engineering and bone engineering will be studied.
The implications of using stem cells for tissue engineering will be discussed.
