Since a lot of people are now using keyboards, smartphones, or play video games for long periods of time, it seems that people are now having a lot of finger pain problems. Usually, doctors recommend rest, icing, cortisone injections or surgery as a last result for chronic pain problems, but there has to be a better way than this. Is there any potential for tissue engineering treatment for fingers and hand pain?

I'm interested in neuroregeneration after spinal cord injury, and I am trying to find ways to use shape memory polymers to guide regeneration. I was wondering if anyone on this forum had any ideas/thoughts on this topic--any specific regenerative techniques to get neuron regeneration in a specific path/area? I appreciate your help!

P.S. I'm not very knowledgeable in this area--still trying to learn more online--so my apologies if this question has been answered before/is fairly obvious.

Fairly new to reddit thought I'd give this a try, see whats out there, couldn't hurt.

Amazing advancements in bio science are being made as humanity goes on, the mind is a miraculous thing, my question is:

Internal scar tissue is an extremely troubling, frustrating and oftentimes painful problem, with patients being told there's nothing that can be done or at most surgery which leads to yet more scar tissue. Corticosteroids aren't very effective if they lead to complications like tissue atrophy and necrosis, and oils/lotions not being able to get past the topmost layer of skin to get into the internal scarring. Massage isn't very helpful either.

Is there perhaps a technology available or in development that might dissolve/ break up faster/ alleviate/ get rid of (etc) serious internal scar tissue?

Surely there must be something?

Not sure if there are people who are currently working in tissue engineering on this board. But, if so do you think we’d be able to reverse scarring in our lifetime? I’m currently 28.

İs there a lot of physics and chemistry knowledge required for tissue engineers

I'm lost! SBF and PBS have both been used in many papers as degradation mediums. which one do you think is the best choice? and is there a fixed protocol I'm unaware of?

BTW I want to test in vitro degradation of polymer scaffolds for bone tissue.

Hey yall,

​

Was wondering what universities in the US are at the forefront of tissue engineering/stem cell research.

What would it take to engineer the most basic, barebones cell type in vitro, with the minimal genetic material and functionality required to remain alive and reproduce?

Has such a task been undertaken before?

Hi everyone!

I'm not sure if this is the right forum to post in, so apologies in advance if it is not.

I'm interested in building artificial kidneys, but don't have a bioengineering background (I have an electrical engineering & data science background). For this reason I am looking for someone to tutor me virtually (paid of course) in tissue engineering (fundamentals - intermediary) once a week.

Would anyone be interested in this?

Please don't down vote me maybe someone else will be willing to answer instead thank you.

I don't know why but for some odd reason this idea popped into my mind and it has me wondering; my question is could Tissue engineering lead to humans augmenting their body parts for some animal parts to a certain extent? in particular the male genitals; for example could the decellularization process be used on a horse testicles and have your genes placed in a tube to re apply your own cells to it? and if said experiment was to be successful could the human body be able to handle the level of semen a horse produces? man my mind is on fire with these crazy questions lol If any genius could help me please clear this up for me so I can finally sleep because Tissue Engineering has endless possibilities it's got me thinking crazy help! Also I don't know too much stuff about science but willing to learn and understand more around this topic, thank you.

I'm using the sol gel technique for its preparation but not getting any results. So far the steps I used are the following;

1. Mixed ethanol,teos, nitric acid, and deionized water and stirred for 30 minutes.

2)Added tep drop wise then stirred for another 15 to 30 minutes. 3) Added calcium nitrate tetrahydrate and stirred for an hour. I have tried this procedure four times using different proportions and excluded ethanol in one trial but had no result. Gel formation did not occur in any of the trials. I added 10ml of ammonia solution in one sample after which the consistency changed abruptly and the sample looked like moist powdery rocks. I have been doing this for fours days and now I'm completely lost about what is going wrong in the procedure. Please help

Hi im a mechanical engineer undergrad from India planning to do masters in BME and specialization in tissue engineering (TE).I was wondering if there are any international students like me pursuing TE. If so, can you pls ping me and share your thoughts on what it's like. And what are the career prospects of someone with masters in BME and TE specialisation?

I'm working on a project involving the electrospinning if novel materials. I had a very specific question about the fundamentals around electrospinning certain polymer mixtures. Are there any experts on here?

Idk if this is the right place to ask this, but I'm an irish student hoping to go into a career in tissue engineering! Getting a degree in biomedical engineering would be the most obvious route, but I was wondering if I would be able to pursue a job in tissue engineering through a degree in biology and biomedical sciences? i feel like it would open more options for me. If anyone has any advice please let me know! :)

Does anyone know a tissue engineering product or start up that uses piezoelectric biomaterials?!

Hello, I'm new to this forum. I just wanted to know what is the scope of tissue engineering as I'm about to do masters in biomedical engineering and this particular division has peeked my interest.Where and what will I be doing in tissue engineering?

Hello! I'm looking for a tissue engineered system that meets these criteria:

• Contains as few different cells and materials as possible
• Once cells and materials are combined, undergoes period in which cells remodel their surroundings and secrete new material
• Should resemble some human tissue in structure and composition by the end of the culture period

Basically, I want to test an experimental agent that I believe will disrupt the cells' ability to remodel their surroundings into tissue-like structures. Any recommendations will be helpful, thanks

Tissue engineering in vitro using autologous material is taking tissue from a donor site to grow more of said tissue outside the body before reimplantation? Sorry this is to make sure I am correctly understanding what tissue engineering does to confirm whether or not something I thought of is possible or if it's just a pipe dream.

Also what would be the best method for tissue engineering oral mucosa/buccal mucosa tissue?

Are there different scaffolding methods that fit best with certain tissue types? If so please elaborate. (Not a doctor or anything just doing some research on my own for reasons :p)

Edit: if you perhaps know if buccal mucosa tissue would work best with a certain method that would be most appreciated. And are stem cells like embryonic stem cells necessary for tissue engineering or can you use scaffolding and donor tissue by themselves?

I devised a method for fabricating thick 3D vascularized tissue constructs a while back, but in no way had the resources to pursue it. The patent is now abandoned, but the concept is sound. It utilizes fabricating a structure in a Transmedic style device ex vivo while attaching an arteriovenous loop from a swine to the structure. I would love to see somebody try this concept. Anybody out there interested? https://patents.google.com/patent/US20120276518A1/en#citedBy

Hi yall,

​

I am hoping that someone in here can nudge me in the right direction. I am starting on a project with a professor at my university, and I am tasked to find out which animal is best to use their legs to study tendon regeneration using tissue scaffolds and mechanical loading platforms. Yall have any thoughts? It would be much appreciated!
