Tissue engineering applications in urologyRoshan Shetty
This document discusses applications of tissue engineering in urology. It summarizes research on using matrices and cell-seeded scaffolds to regenerate tissues of the urethra, bladder, and other organs. Studies have found that matrices can help cell ingrowth to repair defects. For the urethra, acellular matrices and cell-seeded matrices have been used. For the bladder, acellular matrices and cell-seeded matrices show potential but challenges remain in fully regenerating muscle layers. Similar work has been done on the ureters, penis, testes, and female reproductive organs.
Tissue engineering applications in urology include organ transplantation, reconstructive procedures, and novel therapies for chronic illness. Studies have reconstructed tissues of the urethra, bladder, and male genitalia using cell-seeded matrices. For the urethra, tubular matrices seeded with autologous cells generated neourethral segments of 5-15cm. For the bladder, acellular matrices and cell-seeded matrices showed regeneration of transitional layers. Reconstructing penile corpora used smooth muscle cells on biodegradable scaffolds, generating intact structures. Tissue engineering offers alternatives to gastrointestinal tissues currently used for reconstruction and potential treatments for conditions like erectile dysfunction and infertility.
This document provides an overview of principles of tissue engineering. It discusses why tissue engineering is needed due to limited organ transplantation availability. Tissue engineering uses regenerative medicine approaches including cell therapies, biomaterials, and tissue engineering to repair or replace damaged tissues. Various cell sources for therapy are described, including stem cells (embryonic, adult, perinatal), somatic cell nuclear transfer, and induced pluripotent stem cells. Biomaterials are discussed that can be used as scaffolds to support cell growth. The importance of vascularization for tissue volumes over 3mm is also highlighted.
Human fetal intestine was decellularized to create a natural scaffold for bladder augmentation. The decellularization protocol successfully removed cellular material while preserving the extracellular matrix. The scaffolds were implanted in rabbit bladders, where host bladder cells effectively repopulated the scaffolds over time. Six months later, the tissue architecture of the repopulated scaffolds resembled the native bladder, demonstrating the potential of this approach for bladder tissue engineering applications.
stem cell research is yet to be advanced , once fully developed can alleviate human suffering, this ppt reviews the contemporary evidence, pitfalls and challenges
Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine aim to regenerate human tissues and organs. Tissue engineering involves seeding cells onto scaffolds to create tissues, while regenerative medicine focuses on cell therapies. The field is multidisciplinary and requires collaboration across various areas. Applications have included skin, blood vessels, heart valves, cartilage, bones and whole organs. Challenges remain around ethics, quality control, understanding tissue differentiation, and meeting clinical demand. While still early, the field is making progress in translating technologies to treat conditions like burns, heart disease, arthritis and diabetes.

Stem cells have the ability to differentiate into various cell types and can self-renew. There are two main types: embryonic stem cells which are pluripotent and derived from embryos, and adult stem cells which are multipotent and found in adult tissues. Stem cells show promise for treating various diseases due to their ability to regenerate tissues. However, their clinical use is still limited due to risks of tumor formation and ethical issues around embryonic stem cells.
Potential Therapeutic Application Of Stem CellStefanus Nofa
Potential therapeutic applications of stem cells include treating many diseases. Stem cells can differentiate into other cell types and can self-renew. Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent and can differentiate into all germ layers but have ethical issues. Adult stem cells are multipotent and are found in tissues but are limited in differentiation. Stem cell therapies show promise for diseases like Parkinson's, diabetes, and heart disease. Challenges include controlling differentiation and reducing tumor risks. The stem cell market is growing rapidly with applications in regenerative medicine and drug development.

The document discusses stem cell and islet cell research and transplantation. It describes how stem cells were discovered to have regenerative abilities in organs like the brain and muscles. Human embryonic stem cells were first isolated in 1998 and are pluripotent, having the potential to differentiate into many cell types. Islet cell transplantation is discussed as a treatment for diabetes, with the first successful case of living-donor islet transplantation between a mother and daughter described. Challenges and costs of stem cell and islet cell therapies are also mentioned.
This document summarizes techniques for organ culture, histotypic culture, and apoptosis. It discusses how entire organs or embryos can be excised and cultured to maintain normal physiological functions and biochemical processes. Specific procedures are outlined for organ culture, including dissection, placement on supports, and incubation. Histotypic cultures allow growth of cell lines in 3D matrices to form tissue-like structures using methods like gel encapsulation, hollow fibers, or spheroid formation. Multicellular tumor spheroids are also described as a model for studying tumor cell proliferation, drug responses, and gene expression. Finally, apoptosis or programmed cell death is summarized as an orderly cell destruction process triggered via intrinsic or extrinsic pathways.

Stem cells can be obtained from embryos or adults. Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent and can become any cell type, while adult stem cells are multipotent and limited to certain lineages. Stem cell research offers promise for therapies but also ethical concerns. Alternatives to embryonic stem cells are being explored, such as stem cells from unfertilized eggs, dead embryos, or engineered structures. While progress is being made, many challenges remain before stem cell therapies can be directly translated from the laboratory.
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that can differentiate into specialized cells and divide to produce more stem cells. There are two main types: embryonic stem cells derived from blastocysts, and adult stem cells found in mature tissue. Stem cell research offers potential treatments for diseases by replacing damaged cells, though it faces ethical issues and technical challenges. The presentation discussed various stem cell applications in diabetes, eye disease, and blood disorders.
This document provides an overview of stem cell research, including:
1) It defines embryonic and adult stem cells, and their potential uses in research and therapies.
2) It describes how embryonic stem cells are harvested from the inner cell mass of blastocysts and cultured, and the challenges of doing so.
3) It discusses the debate around stem cell research in the US and other countries, noting both support and restrictions on the use of embryonic stem cells and human cloning.
The cell and its evolution. Camila DuncanCamila Duncan
The document discusses two studies related to cell regeneration and evolution. The first study successfully grew new cartilage tissue in the lab using cartilage cells from cow knee joints, which could help treatments for osteoarthritis. The second study found that macrophages, important immune cells, have the ability to self-renew through turning off two genes, showing potential for tissue regeneration. Both studies indicate advances in regenerative medicine techniques that may help patients with tissue degeneration diseases in the future.
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that can differentiate into other cell types and divide to produce more stem cells. They are found in multicellular organisms and have two key properties - self-renewal and potency. There are several sources of stem cells including embryonic stem cells derived from embryos, adult stem cells found in adult tissues, and induced pluripotent stem cells produced by reprogramming adult cells. Stem cells offer promise for regenerative medicine but also raise ethical issues when derived from human embryos.

Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...Oleg Kshivets
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

Bioengineering with ECM scaffolds
.
The term regenerative medicine is often used synonymously with tissue engineering
the term was coined by willian haseltine ,In effect to bring all areas under one defining field
Cells are obtained from individuals by biopsy
Now these cells can be..
Autologous cells are preferred due to lack of immunogenicity
Cells used can be…
Somatic cells are differentiated cells
Their main limitation
Removal of an oocyte nucleus in culture, followed by its replacement with a nucleus derived from a somatic cell obtained from a patient.
Their use have major limitations,
These r obtained from specialised adult cells through a process called reprograming
Reprogramming is a technique that involves de-differentiation of adult somatic cells to produce patient-specific pluripotent stem cells, eliminating the need to create embryos
Celss are isolated from various tissue in body inclusing BM, adipose tissue
MC USED coz it enjoys good protocol for MSC extraction
High prolifration potential
No risk of tumor formation
Also have immunomodulatary func dur to production of various growth factors
Obtained from umbilical blood sampling at the time of birth or by amniotiocentesis or CV samplingi n fetus
Comp to adult stem cells
They are constructs or support structures that are engineered to facilitates the growth of cells, delivery of cells to graft site in body and guide development of new tissue
Majority of mammalian cell types are anchorage dependent and will die if not provided with a cell-adhesion substrate.
Highly porous, high sa/volm
Biocompt- minimal degree of inflamation
Good bioactivity- biological molecules on surface thus promoting cell prolifration
Must bioabsorbed in a controlled and appropriate time
Adaptible to diff manufracturing tech
Due to residual growth factors Advg of inherent bioogical activity and mechanical properties of natural ECM, most natural scaffolds comes from pigs- source of disease transmsn and these protein composn and structure is diffrnt from body itself BIOCOMPATIBILITY ISSUE
Advg of synthetic – can produce organ structure of any shape in 3d space, can be quantified, have good reproducibility and low cost, many characteristics lile porosity can be controlled
Natural – have natural essence – so more biocompatible and biodegradable
Recently 3 d helps in creating highly complex structures with accurate design. They used hydrogels as scaffolds
is that cells cannot be implanted in volumes exceeding 3 mm3.
Nutrition and gas exchange are limited by this maximal diffusion distance. If cells were implanted in volumes exceeding 3 mm3, only the cells on the surface would survive, and the central cell core would undergo necrosis resulting from a lack of vascularity.
These includes various growth factors, cell adhesive molecules like cadherin, selectin, integrin
These bioactive factors are loaded along with cells in scaffold .they help in…., maintain cell viability, ohenotype and guide cell differentiation

the material is “off the shelf.”
eliminates the need of additional surgical procedures for graft harvesting, thus decrease operative time
Decrease potential morbidity from the harvest procedure.
Acellular grafts can only be used when healthy part of urethral wall is present, coz the tissue regeneration starts from its edges
Mostly used BAM SIS
Cell seeded grafts showed better results compared, here BM is seeded with UC or epiderml skin from foreskin
Study by atala gp
Autologous cells are taken by tissue biopsy. Cultures and seeded ….

Here is another study on hypospadias repain using tegraft
6 pts of sever hyposadias taken- perineal and scrotal hypo with pronounced chordee
Surgey was done in two stages …..uc werw harvested by bl and seeded on acellular dermal matrix
Graft is uded in onlay fashion
Fu 5yrs , 3 pts
Concluded that treatment is feasible in selected gp of pts – pronounced chordee, shaotage of prepuce and penile skin and bladder extrophy pts
So there is a search for novel technique for bladder replacement
Since ub acts as temporary reservoir of urine ,.. It should compliant wall to prevent damage to ut,
Urotheium that prevents absorption of toxins during urine storage
results Only 30 of smooth muscle cell grows in graft –
reslts are poor coz early exposure of scaffolds to urine causing in extreme fibrosis. this decreases elasticity of bladder
Acellular collagen matrices can be enhanced with growth factors to improve bladder regeneration.
Human urothelial and muscle cells can be expanded in vitro, seeded onto polymer scaffolds, and allowed to attach and form sheets of cells.
The cell-polymer scaffold can then be implanted in vivo.
Urothelium is associated with a high reparative capacity. Bladder muscle tissue is less likely to regenerate in a normal fashion
Approaches are compared in an aninal model by..
Seeded 95 of original capacity and trilyered histology vs 46 capacity, minor cell ingrowth and fibrosis

This a landmrk study by atala gp.. Which is first clical

Phase 2 multicentric study done in
Chindren with neurogenic bladder due to spina bifida
On fu of 3 years
So compared to previous studies this study doesn’t showed good results
Cocludes that serious s/e surpassed the safety std
Similar engineering techniques are now being used for patients with bladder cancer, who are having engineered urinary conduits implanted after cystectomy
Stem cells derived from fat can be differentiated into smooth muscle for the conduits, thus avoiding native cells from bladder cancer patients
Tengion gp they hv done animal trials showing acceptabl results.. Now its under phase 1 trial.
MYOBLASTS ISOLATED FROM ABD WALL MUSCULATURE
It has narrow lumen
Tendency to collapse due to constatnt high abd pressure which makes engineered tissue prone for ischemia and scarring
It is one of the reason why no phase 1 clinical trial has been done, only stdy r done in animals to comare scaffolds
Various cell line has bn used to correct ed in animal models like
cultured human corporeal smooth muscle cells may be used in conjunction with biodegradable polymers to create corpus cavernosum tissue de novo
In another study, Chondrocytes isolated from human ear were seeded on rod-shaped biodegradable polymer scaffolds ….. human cartilage rods were engineered in vitro for potential use as penile prostheses.
The engineered human cartilaginous rods were flexible, elastic, and able to withstand high degrees of compressive forces.
Approach toward restoration of testic function canbe

Isolation of particular cell types that produce specific factors may be a good approach for selective cell therapies.
cells that produce erythropoietin have been isolated in culture, and these cells could eventually be used to treat anemia that results from ESRD
‘’’’Extensive research is going on the use on scaffolds for bioeng of kidney.. And in animal studies accelular kidney matrices showed good results
One of the big issue is not getting proprer nv although there is a lot about biopeptides, angiogenic factors, antibodies like cd31, using a good omental wrap is a good idea
Also ingowth of neuronal networks is also an issue
Goal is to miniaturise this extracorporeal RAD into sx implantable , self monitoring artificial kidney
Hemofiltration tht made of silicon memb made by nanotechnology do ultrafiltrasion nd remove excessive toxin
Renal cell bioreactor tht is lined with human tubuler cells made by tissue engineering tht perform metabolic func of kidney
Relies on blodd pressure without need of pump nd power supply
After a single sx it can contionusly process blood for 24hr per day
Similar to 3d printing – plastic filaments
Application- cardiac tissue, bioprtng a complex tissue like kidney has been difficult since it contain more than 20 unique cell types
Limitation is ability of cell to survive printing process
Te is an exciting field that has a potential to revolutionise the medicine
te is abt to grow and about to 3 times of its present market size in next 10 years
But desite the extensive research it still has a long way to go and made a meaningful transition in urology practice.
