Learning Outcome: | - After successful participation in the module, the students can explain and apply scientific basics as well as specialized and deepened knowledge. They can develop independent ideas and concepts for solving scientific and professional problems.They are able to
- discuss basic structure and interactions of cells and extracellular matrix in tissues.
- discover embryonic developmental processes in mammals as a basis for tissue engineering processes.
- know the definition, history, scientific and therapeutical background of "Tissue Engineering".
- know the basic elements of tissue engineering (cells, molecules, biomaterials, bioreactors).
- discrimate between different cell based therapies as therapeutic concept in Regenerative Medicine.
- Students acquire expertise in basic elements and methods of Tissue Engineering and will be able to discuss tissue engineering approaches with respect to the application in the lab and in the clinic.
