Today, during the 84th General Session of the International Association for Dental Research, a team from The Forsyth Institute (Boston, MA, USA) will report that their research has demonstrated that mixed populations of cultured post-natal tooth bud cells can be used to generate bioengineered dental tissues. view more (2006-06-29)
Mice could provide the key to growing human lungs for transplant
Scientists from Imperial College London have successfully directed mouse stem cells to turn into the type of cells needed for gas exchange in lungs, bringing the prospect of being able to regenerate damaged lung tissue, and even the creation of artificially grown lungs one step closer. Dr Anne Bishop, from Imperial College Tissue Engineering and... view more... (2002-05-15)
Advancement in tissue engineering promotes oral wound healing
Oral tissue engineering for transplantation to aid wound healing in mouth (oral cavity) reconstruction has taken a significant step forward with a Netherlands-based research team's successful development of a gum tissue (gingival) substitute that can be used for reconstruction in the oral cavity. view more (2009-02-03)
£ 9.7 M for tissue engineering research
Research into Tissue Engineering has received a major boost with a grant of over £9.7M from a joint Research Council consortium to the Universities of Manchester and Liverpool, led by Professor Tim Hardingham, Professor David Williams and Professor Mark Ferguson. The award will fund research to improve our understanding of cell behaviour so... view more... (2000-09-08)
Tissue engineering in Japan could become global leader
The Royal Academy of Engineering sponsored a UK technology mission to Japan on behalf of the DTI's International Technology Service, to investigate recent developments in tissue engineering and related advanced technologies. The Mission team, comprising a number of high-level experts visited Japan from 7 to 12 April. On 30 June, team leader... view more... (2003-06-25)
Saving teeth by using periodontal ligament regeneration
Teeth may fall out as a result of inflammation and subsequent destruction of the tissues supporting the teeth. Dutch researcher Agnes Berendsen has investigated a possible solution to this problem. view more (2008-06-05)
Medical Breakthrough in Engineering and Monitoring 3-D Tissue
Researchers at Oxford University's Department of Engineering Science have recently made great lengths in both engineering and monitoring 3-dimensional tissue. Engineering tissue involves the seeding of appropriate cells into a scaffold to form a bio-construct or matrix. The Oxford team has improved this process by developing a new kind of nutrient... view more... (2003-10-13)
Cutting Edge basic research gets £20M funding
More than £20M is to be awarded to 8 research projects around the UK to help scientists develop basic technologies that will have high impact and wide-reaching benefits. The work will affect all aspects of our lives ranging from cancer research, medical diagnosis and tissue engineering to food processing, security surveillance,... view more... (2002-02-25)
MIT creates tiny backpacks for cells
MIT engineers have outfitted cells with tiny "backpacks" that could allow them to deliver chemotherapy agents, diagnose tumors or become building blocks for tissue engineering. view more (2008-11-06)
Researchers mimic vascular system to nourish engineered tissue for transplants
One day soon, laboratories may grow synthetically engineered tissues such as muscle or cartilage needed for transplants. In a major step forward, Cornell engineers describe in the journal Nature Materials a microvascular system they have developed that can nourish growing tissues. view more (2007-10-09)
Tissue engineering for an ageing population.
New products offering radical solutions to the medical problems of our ageing population will appear within the next 5-10 years, says Tim Hardingham speaking at the BA Festival of Science at the University of Glasgow today [3 September 2001]. Professor Hardingham, Head of the UK Centre for Tissue Engineering, a collaboration between the... view more... (2001-08-30)
Press Invitation: The science of stem cells - December Symposium at Imperial College
PRESS INVITATION 28 November 2000 As the British parliament prepares to debate a change in the law to allow stem cells from human embryos to be used in research, Imperial College researchers will gather at a Symposium in December to discuss the science behind stem cells, and examine their potential to provide new treatments for a host of... view more...

Hydrogels provide scaffolding for growth of bone cells
Hyaluronic hydrogels developed by Carnegie Mellon University researchers may provide a suitable scaffolding to enable bone regeneration. The hydrogels, created by Newell Washburn, Krzysztof Matyjaszewski and Jeffrey Hollinger, have proven to encourage the growth of preosteoblast cells, cells that aid the growth and development of bone. Doctoral... view more... (2008-08-18)
MIT sculpts 3-D particles with light
MIT engineers have used ultraviolet light to sculpt three-dimensional microparticles that could have many applications in medical diagnostics and tissue engineering. view more (2007-12-04)
Artificial tissue from the test tube
The human body is held together by collagen (from the Greek kolla = glue). This group of structural proteins makes up 20-30 percent of the protein content of mammals - and can be found in skin, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, blood vessels, teeth and bones. The range of associated diseases is correspondingly wide. One example is osteoarthrosis, a... view more... (2003-12-01)
Secret ingredient: nanoparticles aid bone growth
In the first study of its kind, bioengineers and bioscientists at Rice University and Radboud University in Nijmegen, Netherlands, have shown they can grow denser bone tissue by sprinkling stick-like nanoparticles throughout the porous material used to pattern the bone. view more (2008-06-16)
Skin cancer diagnosis technique could also help prevent blindness
A new technique to aid early detection of skin cancer could also help fight serious eye diseases such as those caused by diabetes. The technique has been developed at the University of Birmingham with funding from the Swindon-based Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council. It involves using an innovative form of image analysis to tell... view more... (2002-11-26)
Pioneering research could make UK a world leader
Speculative research being pioneered at Northumbria University could make major medical advances in screening patients in the future. Dr David Smith from the School of Engineering and Technology is developing a microwave imaging system which would replace X-rays.
