چکیده
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) 2016 Progenitor Cell Biology Consortium (PCBC) and Cardiovascular Tissue Engineering (CVTE) Symposium was held on March 28, 2016 at Birmingham, AL (Figure). Over one hundred scientists, engineers, and trainees attended the symposium hosted by new joint Department of Biomedical Engineering, University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). The symposium was part of the NIH National Blood, Heart, and Lung Institute’s PCBC and featured information on the field’s latest accomplishments. The goal of the Symposium was to discuss novel approaches and cell and tissue engineering–based products to repair damaged heart and vasculature. The symposium sessions were aimed at the common topic of advancing the understanding of disease mechanisms and translating the most advanced basic science to preclinical and clinical trials. Because of the word limitation, this report could only highlight some of the presentations from this 1-day PCBC CVTE 2016 Symposiums. Many pertinent presentation summaries are not included, yet they certainly merit. The opening remarks were given by Dr Jianyi Zhang and Dean J. Iwan D. Alexander (School of Engineering, UAB). Following the introductory remarks, 21 speakers presented their research topics in 12-minute lectures. This short presentation format was well acknowledged by the audience.

متن کاملIsolation and Characterization of the Progenitor Cells From the Blastema Tissue Formed at Experimentally-Created Rabbit Ear Hole
Objective(s): Throughout evolution, mammalians have increasingly lost their ability to regenerate structures however rabbits are exceptional since they develop a blastema in their ear wound for regeneration purposes. Blastema consists of a group of undifferentiated cells capable of dividing and differentiating into the ear tissue. The objective of the present study is to isolate, culture expa...
متن کاملA review of Biology and clinical use of Mesenchymal stem cell: an immune -modulator progenitor cell
Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs), which also called mesenchymal stromal cells, are multipotent stem cell. Human MSCs typically are positive for the surface markers CD44, CD73, CD90, CD105, CD106, and also negative for hematopoietic markers CD34 and CD45.These cells can be isolated from postnatal bone marrow, adipose tissue, placenta, and scalp tissue, as well as from various fetal tissues. ...
متن کاملGenerating new blood flow: integrating developmental biology and tissue engineering.
Vascular tissue engineering aims to restore blood flow by seeding artificial tubular scaffolds with endothelial and smooth muscle cells, thus creating bioartificial blood vessels. Herein, the progenitors of smooth muscle and endothelial cells hold great promise because they efficiently differentiate and harbor longevity. In this review, we describe a novel tissue engineering approach that uses ...
