Cover key organ systems such as bone, cartilage, vascular, cardiovascular, bladder, and nervous system tissue engineering with tissue engineering examples Cover key design criteria that can help you design a better tissue engineering material. Cover the integration of nanomedicine into tissue engineering.

Designing scaffolds; Identify a novel application of tissue engineering materials to address a problem in healthcare ? NOT the obvious to increase tissue growth. Using design criteria 1, suggest an optimal bone tissue material than can decrease inflammation and improve bone growth.

Inflamation and tissue engineering Determine properties of IgG (hydrophobic/hydrophilic, charge, etc.). Design your nanomaterial (chemistry, charge, roughness, etc.) to decrease the adsorption of IgG since IgG increases immune cell recognition of implants and inflammation.

Determine properties of C3b (hydrophobic/hydrophilic, charge, etc.). Design your nanomaterial (chemistry, charge, roughness, etc.) to decrease the adsorption of C3b since C3b initiates complement activation.

Presentation about new scaffolds and surface treatment applied for tissue engineering purposes.
