Learning outcomes
The subject Materials for tissue engineering, taught in the follow-up master's degree, is loosely connected to the subject Fibrous materials for tissue engineering (MAT), Fundamentals of cell and tissue biology (ZBT) and Medical textiles (ZDT). In the introduction, students will get acquainted with the terms used in the field of tissue engineering. Subsequently, interactions between cells and materials and the possibilities of their evaluation in laboratory conditions or directly in living organisms will be discussed. Legal standards for the approval of medical devices and modern therapy products will also be mentioned. In the end, selected applications of tissue engineering and the possibilities of using biomaterials in these applications will be discussed.
Student acquire knowledges of subject.
