Abstract/Description
A review of past, present, and future applications of cardiovascular tissue engineering in medicine. Tissue engineering aims to produce methods of repairing or replacing various portions of the human body by combining modified natural and artificial materials. This is an interdisciplinary field of study which has undergone rapid evolution in recent years in terms of in vitro and in vivo techniques used by researchers as well as practicing medical professionals. A discussion of the basics of tissue engineering as applied to cardiomyocytes and other cardiovascular tissues will introduce the audience to the subject. The latest research advancements as well as therepeutic uses of the past several years will be discussed, and the presentation will close with projected developments of this specific field of regenerative medicine.
