Advancements in organ engineering

Simon Ng — Tue, 30 Nov 2021 18:07:19 +0000

Giuseppe Orlando, MD, PhD, Wake Forest School of Medicine, Winston-Salem, NC, discusses current developments in organ engineering. Healthy mitochondria can repair damaged kidneys, and decellularization can enable procurement of biomaterials that can regenerate islet cells in the pancreas, or help stem cells differentiate into β cells. This interview took place at the 6th World Congress of the Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine International Society (TERMIS 2021).

Cooperation between the American Society of Transplantation and TERMIS

Giuseppe Orlando, MD, PhD, Wake Forest School of Medicine, Winston-Salem, NC, provides an overview of the collaborative work carried out between the American Society of Transplantation (AST) and the Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine International Society (TERMIS). He describes what events have been organized between the two societies and what the fields of transplantation and tissue engineering can learn from each other. This interview took place at the 6th World Congress of the Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine International Society (TERMIS 2021).

The future of regenerative medicine in transplantation

Simon Ng — Tue, 30 Nov 2021 18:07:16 +0000

Giuseppe Orlando, MD, PhD, Wake Forest School of Medicine, Winston-Salem, NC, describes recent advances in the field of transplantation, including the development of β cell replacement therapies for Type 1 diabetes. Prof. Orlando additionally discusses novel organ preservation techniques which utilizes fluids that store organs at room temperature instead of ice, as well as the use of mesenchymal stem cells and mitochondria to render once unusable organs suitable for transplantable. This interview took place at the 6th World Congress of the Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine International Society (TERMIS 2021).

Characterizing the human pancreatic matrisome

Giuseppe Orlando, MD, PhD, Wake Forest School of Medicine, Winston-Salem, NC, discusses attempts to characterize the matrisome of the human pancreas to provide insight into the development of biomaterials for the pancreas. Various proteomic techniques including mass spectrometry and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were conducted to quantify the number of different proteins present. This interview took place at the 6th World Congress of the Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine International Society (TERMIS 2021).
