The Society of Instrument and Control Engineers-Chubu Branch- Symposium 2010/ Commemorative Symposium for the 100th Anniversary of the Founding of Faculty of Textile Science and Technology ( cosponsored by Global COE program)

Dr.Zhang Xueguang, from Soochow University, China, will give a special lecture at Shinshu University Ueda Campus as follows:

Date: Friday 29 October 2010
Time: 11:10 - 12:10
Location: Auditorium
Title: Application of Stem cell and Silk Protein in Tissue Engineering
Language: English

Outline:Tissue engineering in a classical sense implies the use of organ-specific cells for seeding a scaffold ex vivo. There are two components: the seed cells that will replace the dead cells and regenerate the organ, and the supporting framework that will distribute the cells evenly and maintain the 3-D shape necessary for proper functioning of the organ. Stem cells, a good chose of seed cells, are found in all multi cellular organisms. They are characterized by the ability to renew themselves and differentiate into a diverse range of specialized cell types. Commonly, stem cells mainly come from: Embryos formed during the blastocyst phase of embryological development (embryonic stem cells) and Adult tissue (adult stem cells, which include mesenchymal, hematopoietic stem cells, neural stem cells, etc), apart from this, in recent years, the induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS) are also recognized as a new source for stem cells.

All are welcome to attend
