Cell Sources
• Stem cells– Embryonic– Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal– Cord-derived mesenchymal
• Primary cells (main successes so far1)– Chondrocytes (cartilage)– Skin cells– Heart cells

Tissue Engineering Scaffolds
• Scaffold – an artificial structure capable of supporting 3 dimensional tissue formation (e.g. Collagen and some polyesters)

Purposes of Scaffolds– Allow Cell attachment and migration– Deliver and retain cells and biochemical factors– Enable diffusion of vital cell nutrients and
expressed products– Exert certain mechanical and biological influences
to modify the behavior of cell phase

Requirements of Scaffolds
• High porosity and adequate pore size for cell diffusion
• Biodegradability because scaffolds should be absorbed by the surrounding tissues

HOW IT’S DONE
1. Fixing (kill in Paraformaldehyde)
2. Embedding (in paraffin wax)
3. Sectioning (slice it up thinly!)
4. Mount (with glass slide + coverslip)
5. Stain (with flourescence)
DAPI - nucleii
