Regrowing skin, bones and even organs might seem like something out of a
mad scientist's lab, but the reality isn't so crazy. Jorge Ribas finds
out how tissue engineering could help the sick and injured.
John Fisher and his team at university of Maryland are working on making viable engineered tissue. They use synthetic polymer scaffold. Communication between scaffolding material and stem cell help in differentiation and formation of tissue of proper shape. They are using high voltage sparks to make vascular like shapes to provide circulation to larger engineered tissue. These Network serves as a conduit for providing nutrient and other essentials to cell. Their technology in future will help in repairing tissue of trauma patients.
