This course discusses bone tissue engineering from the current clinical standards to the most recent
developments. Bone tissue engineering strategies will be introduced from biochemical and biomechanical
roles of the major cell types found the bone: osteoblasts, osteoclasts, vascular endothelial cells and their
respective progenitors. In addition, tissues that are associated with the bone will be introduced.
The students will learn about the latest advances in the field of bone tissue engineering. The students will
also become proficient at interpreting data common in bone tissue engineering such as MicroCT, histology,
immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescent microscopy.
Teaching material will be gathered from text books and scientific journal articles.
Group discussions will be used to critically analyze scientific results and engineering designs.
Each student will complete a written report of a related topic, and give a presentation to the class.
