There's just no place that it doesn't somehow have a connective tissue to.

I mean, this is the connective tissue of the human superorganism in action.

Human tissue is made up of cells.

It's bringing the cells into the body. It's allowing the cells to regenerate new tissue, and once the tissue is regenerated the scaffold goes away.

You have tissue culture cells. There are a ton of viruses.

So, is it possible that the tumor cells are going to the skeletal muscle tissue, but once in contact inside the skeletal muscle tissue, MyoD acts upon these tumor cells and causes them to become skeletal muscle cells?

And then that, in turn, propelled us to look at larger scale projects where this notion of landscape building interface becomes a connective tissue.

Because what stem cells are they're these phenomenal cells that really have the ability to differentiate into any type of tissue.

And there are, again, now tens of millions of these links that give us the connective tissue of social graphs and how they relate to content.

And furthermore, that nervous tissue brain gets cancer, and brain cells are also terminally differentiated.

We then tease the tissue apart into its two individual cell components, muscle, and these bladder specialized cells.

If somehow we can cause these cells to differentiate to become bone tissue, lung tissue, liver tissue, whatever that cancer has been put there to do it would be a repair process. We'd end up better than we were before cancer.

On the left, we see a tiny piece of beating heart tissue that I engineered from rat cells in the lab.

And then, again, in a more, kind of traditional setting, this is a graduate student housing in Toronto, and it's very much about the relationship of a building as it makes a connective tissue to the city.

And so what we did is, we take tissue culture cells and infect them with various viruses, and we take the stuff and fluorescently label the nucleic acid, the genetic material that comes out of these tissue culture cells mostly viral stuff and stick it on the array to see where it sticks.

Starting from the age 45 the need of hospital care both among men and women is most often due to cardiovascular diseases and also tumours, diseases connected with the muscular skeletal system and diseases of the connective tissue.

And these stem cells then float in the bloodstream and hone in to damaged organs to release growth factors to repair the damaged tissue.

And as you bring these things together, as you bring cells, biological tissue engineering and mechanics together, you begin to get some really odd questions.

What we did is, we took tissue culture cells and infected them with adenovirus, and you can see this little yellow barcode next to adenovirus.

Things in life start out being general cell, and they become specialized You have tissue cells, you have muscle, brain cells. And same things happens with say, a hammer, which is general at first and becomes more specific.

And again we just finished the ECB actually Coop Himmelblau in Vienna just won this project, where the building was separated into a series of landscape elements that became part of a connective tissue of a park, which is parallel to the river, and develops ideas of the buildings themselves and becomes part of the connective fabric the social, cultural and the landscape, recreational fabric of the city.

We take slices of these biopsies of tumor tissue and use material to actually locate the virus, and we find cells here with viral particles in them.

The strategy here, is if a patient comes in to us with a diseased or injured organ, you can take a very small piece of tissue from that organ, less than half the size of a postage stamp, you can then tease that tissue apart, and look at its basic components, the patient's own cells, you take those cells out, grow and expand those cells outside the body in large quantities, and then we then use scaffold materials.

Most attention is focused on genetic diseases, such as Alzheimer s and Parkinson s, and to muscular dystrophy. In these cases, stem cells would be encouraged to restore nerve tissue.

And the cancer, the body is saying the lung tissue is damaged, we need to repair the lung. And cancer is originating in the lung trying to repair because you have this excessive proliferation of these remarkable cells that really have the potential to become lung tissue.

Taxing Tissue

Could you, say, instead of using material, can I take some cells along with the material, and remove a damaged piece of tissue, put a bio degradable material on there?

In these cases, stem cells would be encouraged to restore nerve tissue. This would also benefit patients with brain and spinal injuries, or those who have suffered strokes and paralysis.

More than four decades later, in 2006, Yamanaka discovered a way to trick complex adult cells in mice into regressing to their immature state, forming stem cells. Before this, stem cells which can potentially be reprogrammed to develop into replacements for lost or damaged tissue could be taken only from early stage embryos, a practice that fueled ethical controversy.

So, tissue design.

Want a tissue?

No fatty tissue.

That's about 2,700 fresh, connective links across about 112 million blogs that are out there.

274. In 1994, the 10 principal causes of female morbidity in hospitals of the National Health System were normal births conditions directly related to obstetrical causes abortions traumatism and poisoning circulatory diseases urinary diseases malignant tumours diabetes mellitus diseases of the osteo muscular system and of the connective tissue and abdominal hernias.

3. Organ and tissue transplantation

(d) Organ and tissue transplants.

Brain tissue exhibits welldeveloped structure.

Liver cells, nerve cells, pancreatic cells we still can't grow them even today.

Nina Tandon Caring for engineered tissue

When swallowed, tissue changes are gradual.

We then take the cells, the vascular cells, blood vessel cells, we perfuse the vascular tree with the patient's own cells.

What we did was we actually used the biomaterial as a bridge so that the cells in the organ could walk on that bridge, if you will, and help to bridge the gap to regenerate that tissue.

Fat derived stem cells are adult stem cells.

We're made of cells and stuff between cells.

In a sense, tissue engineers have a bit of an identity crisis here, because structural engineers build bridges and big things, computer engineers, computers, but what we are doing is actually building enabling technologies for the cells themselves.
