SUMMARY:Herman P. Schwan Distinguished Lecture: "Engineering human tissues for medical impact"
DESCRIPTION:The classical paradigm of tissue engineering involves the integrated use of human stem cells\, biomaterial scaffolds (providing a structural and logistic template for tissue formation) and bioreactors (providing environmental control\, dynamic sequences of molecular and physical signaling\, and insights into the structure and function of the forming tissues). This “biomimetic” approach results in an increasingly successful representation of the environmental milieu of tissue development\, regeneration and disease. Living human tissues are now being engineered from various types of human stem cells\, and tailored to the patient and the condition being treated. A reverse paradigm is now emerging with the development of the “organs on a chip” platforms for modeling of integrated human physiology\, using micro-tissues that are derived from human iPS cells and functionally connected by vascular perfusion. In all cases\, the critical questions relate to our ability to recapitulate the cell niches\, using bioengineering tools. To illustrate the state of the art in the field and reflect on the current challenges and opportunities\, this talk will discuss: (i) anatomically correct bone regeneration\, (ii) bioengineering of the lung\, (iii) heart repair by a cell-free therapy\, and (iv) the use of “organs on a chip” for patient-specific studies of human physiology\, injury\, healing and disease. \nFunding: NIH\, NSF\, New York State\, Mikati Foundation\, Schwartz Foundation \nCatered reception to follow.
