BIOL 5427 - Tissue Engineering


Four credit hours.

Tissue engineering (TE) is defined as the development and manipulation of laboratory-grown molecules, cells, tissues, or organs to replace and/or support the function of injured body parts. TE applies the principles and methods of biology, stem cell biology, immunology, life sciences, physical sciences, engineering, cell and drug delivery, nanobiotechnology, and bioinformatics to understand physiological and pathological systems and to modify and create cells and tissues for therapies for structural tissue repair (e.g., skin, bone, cartilage, tendon, muscle, and blood vessel), for enhancing metabolic function (e.g., liver), for improved drug delivery (localized delivery of a drug), and as a vehicle for cell-based gene therapy. Open to students with credit for BIOL 4427. Dual listed in the Undergraduate Catalog as BIOL 4427. The course consists of two hours of lectures and four hours of laboratory per week.
