Question

Research and submit either (A) another type of tissue that has been regenerated, or (B) an advance in some aspect of this field (a new type of bio-scaffold, a new method for seeding cells, etc.).

Answer 1

BIO-SCAFFOLDS

• bio scaffolds methods help the medical industry by solving the problems related to tissue regeneration needs.
• it uses the specialized materials with specific activity to encourage desired cell activity.
• it is used for the tissue regeneration and recovery from injury.
• this method uses the bio compatible methods for development of 3 D structures.
• The developed materials is seeded with native cells and proteins to promote the cell adhesion and regeneration of cells.
• The matrix of bio-scaffolds are porous, which also promotes cell regeneration.
• it is mainly used in the field of orthopedics for bone and cartilage regeneration. ex. fracture repair.
• another areas which implement this are skin and muscle regeneration
• researches are ongoing with the possibility of organ regeneration.
• the important advantage of this method is that reduced time is needed for recovery.

seeding cells.

• the cell seedind techniques includes attachment of cells to the scaffolds and culture of cells.
• it performed either through dynamic or static method.
• in static method the scaffold and cell suspension are unmoved , and in dynamic one component is under movement
• the static method help in stable cell growth and less damage.
• the dynamic method is again divided into turbulent and laminar flow.
