AI Thread Summary
Tissue engineering involves various approaches, including in vivo, ex vivo, and in vitro methods, each with distinct advantages and disadvantages. Key processes in tissue engineering include cell sourcing, scaffold design, and bioreactor use, which are crucial for successful tissue construction. Important factors for tissue engineers to consider include cell viability, biomaterial compatibility, and the mechanical properties of the engineered tissue. Understanding these elements is essential for anyone looking to enter the field of bioengineering. Resources like the National Institutes of Health provide valuable information on tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

Hi, I'm really wondering what are the approach and steps to construct an engineered tissue.
I've heard of in vivo, ex vivo, in vitro, but don't really know the differences, pros, and cons for those approach.
I also don't know processes that occur during the process of engineering a tissue (like how do they make those tissue).
What are the important factors that a tissue engineer really need to consider for making a tissue?

I'm quite interesting in getting into the field of bioengineering, and just would like to know a little more on the topic of tissue engineering.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks again!
Leo

I am reading Nicholas Wade's book A Troublesome Inheritance. Please let's not make this thread a critique about the merits or demerits of the book. This thread is my attempt to understanding the evidence that Natural Selection in the human genome was recent and regional. On Page 103 of A Troublesome Inheritance, Wade writes the following: "The regional nature of selection was first made evident in a genomewide scan undertaken by Jonathan Pritchard, a population geneticist at the...
I use ethanol for cleaning glassware and resin 3D prints. The glassware is sometimes used for food. If possible, I'd prefer to only keep one grade of ethanol on hand. I've made sugar mash, but that is hardly the least expensive feedstock for ethanol. I had given some thought to using wheat flour, and for this I would need a source for amylase enzyme (relevant data, but not the core question). I am now considering animal feed that I have access to for 20 cents per pound. This is a...
