Cell And Tissue Engeneering

Question 1

What is Regenerative Medicine?

Answer 1

Regenerative Medicine seeks to revolutionize the ways we improve the length and quality of life by restoring, maintaining, or enchancing tissue and organ funciona. It involves the merging of several fields, including tissue engineering, biomaterials development, and stem cell biology.

Question 2

What is tissue engineering?

Answer 2

Tissue engineering is an interdisciplinary field that applies the principles of engineering and life sciences toward the development of biological substitutes that restore, maintain, or improve tissue function or a whole organ.

Question 3

Multiple Fields of Research

Answer 3

Cells, Biomaterials, Biomolecules, Engineering Design Aspects, Biomechanical Aspects of Design, Informatics Support

Question 4

What are stem cells?

Answer 4

Stem cells have emerged as the starting material of choice for bioprocesses to produce cells and tissues to treat degenerative, genetic and immunological diseases

Question 5

Potential uses of Stem cells

Answer 5

Stroke, Traumatic brain injury, learning defects, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Missing teeth, Wound healing, Bone marrow transplantation, Spinal cord injury, Osteoarthiritis Rheumatoid arthritis, Baldness, Blindness, Deafness, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Myocardial infarction, Muscular dystrophy, Diabetes, Crohn’s disease, Cancers

Question 6

What is a medicinal product?

Answer 6

Any substance or combination of substances presented as having properties for treating or preventing disease in human beings; or any substance or combination of substances which may be used in or administred to human beings either with a view to restoring, correcting or modifying physiological functions by exerting a pharmacological, immunological or metabolic action, or to making a medical diagnosis.

Question 7
