Tissue engineering: the biophysical background

Physics in Medicine and Biology
A Curtis, M O Riehle

Abstract

Tissue engineering is the construction, repair or replacement of damaged or missing tissue in humans and other animals. This engineering may take place within the animal body or as tissue constructs to be made in a bioreactor for later grafting into the animal. The minimal set of materials for this are the appropriate types of cell. Usually, however, non-living substrata are used as well. These substrata may be nothing more than materials that bulk up any voids in the damaged tissue and provide the mechanical strength that has been lost when the tissue is damaged or removed. They may serve a similar pair of functions in the bioreactor. They can do much more in terms of pattern formation. The orientations and morphology of the cells, the arrangement of intercellular material as it is laid down and the relationships between different cell types in the repairing or construct tissue are all of importance, for these should resemble the correct normal tissue as closely as possible. Most of these requirements are ones involving pattern formation. This review discusses the various ways in which tissue pattern can be engineered chiefly from a biophysical standpoint. Unpatterned cells are effectively not tissue. This engineering includes...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.

Biophysics of Adhesion

Alterations in cell adhesion can disrupt important cellular processes and lead to a variety of diseases, including cancer and arthritis. It is also essential for infectious organisms, such as bacteria or viruses, to cause diseases. Understanding the biophysics of cell adhesion can help understand these diseases.
