Tissue Engineering
Study findings on tissue engineering are outlined in reports from University of Toronto
Published in Blood Weekly, June 11th, 2009
"Cardiac tissue engineering has a potential to provide functional, synchronously contractile tissue constructs for heart repair, and for studies of development and disease using in vivo-like yet controllable in vitro settings. In both cases, the utilization of bioreactors capable of providing biomimetic culture environments is instrumental for supporting cell differentiation and functional assembly," scientists writing in the journal Tissue Engineering Part a report.
"In the present study, neonatal rat heart cells were cultured on highly porous collagen scaffolds in bioreactors with electrical field stimulation. A hallmark of excitable tissues such as myocardium...
