This presentation focused on using stem cells to repair, replace, or regenerate damaged tissue, as well as exploring the tools and technologies that will drive this process. The discipline of tissue engineering has matured to provide the tools, techniques, and strategies to provide optimal regeneration, repair, or replacement of certain tissues. Stem cells are playing an increasing role in tissue engineering because large numbers of cells are required to fabricate tissue, or to physically arrange themselves into the functional cell arrays observed in, for example, lung or liver. Stem cells are useful because they have high proliferative capacity--from relatively few cells, many millions of cells can be obtained. The three-dimensional arrangement of these cells into the tissue orientation and function is more complicated. This three-dimensionality and the integration of the neo-tissue with that of the host requires the engineering of cells: delivery vehicle composites that allow additional cell multiplication, cell differentiation and, eventually, differentiated cell function. The advantage of using stem cells is that they can differentiate into one or more specific tissues, they are sensitive to inductive and modulating agents, and they usually have mechanisms for preserving their stem cell capacity in some few cells, so that the newly formed tissue can itself naturally rejuvenate. Be Sure to Participate in this Virtual Seminar. You will be able to "attend" this real-time tutorial from anywhere that you have an internet connection.from your office or from your conference room. One Low Registration Fee entitled you to a “site” registration, which enables you to invite your colleagues and members of your staff to participate, whether gathered around a computer or in a conference room with speakerphone and screen. It Couldn’t Be Easier! You’ll view the presentation over your web browser. On a separate telephone line (which you can put on speakerphone), you will hear the audio and be able to ask questions of the presenter. You can also submit questions from your keyboard. Time Well Spent! No travel, no time away. From your office or conference room, this hour-and-a-half seminar will provide you with an authoritative presentation that includes ample time for your questions and discussion. Registrations will be limited to ensure interactive participation. The 1½–hour presentation will:
