1
Q

regenerative medicine’s goal is to

A

replace or reboot tissues or ogans damaged because of disease injury age, or other issues instead of treating symptoms with medication and procedures.

Q

repair vs regeneration
repair____

A

restores tissue makeup and function
scar tissues
bloodvessel distruption, clotting and inflammatory responses
heals major types of damage
non-functional tissue
-can lead to structural abnormalities-this can alter certain organ function.

Q

repair vs regeneration
regeneration

A

new growth completely restores part of damaged tissue
does not form scar tissue
proliferation of calls in the tissue
heals minor types of damages
functional tissues
healing with no permanent damage

Q

repair examples

A

wound healing
skin is cut or screaped it causes bleeding, bllod clots formed to control the bleeding
created by platelet cells and contain fibrin
inflammation occurs due to opening of blood vessels to allow oxygen to the healing area
bloodcells help new tissue and we see scar formation
new tissue becomes stronger, in 3 months wound is 80% as strong as it was pre-injurt. it iwll never fully repair to 100% larger cuts and injuries may take up to years.

Q

regeneration examples

A

liver cells change and divide until fully repaired unless they need more. can grow to normal size even if after 90% is removed
peripheral nervous system- schwann cells (myelin sheath) wrapped aroud axons are differentiated back into stem cells and bridge gaps to repair neurons

16
Q

types of stem cells 4 types

A

embryonic stem cells, non-embryonic (adult) stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), and cord and tissue stem cells

17
Q

embryonic stem cells

A

can give rise to virtually any cell in the body

18
Q

totipotent cells are

A

embryonic cells in 1-3 days

19
Q

pluripotent cells are

A

embryonic stem cells from the embryo 4 and 5 days old

20
Q

non-embryonic (adult) stem cells

A

cells from infant/children/adults. used by the body to repair and replace damaged tissue in the same area in which they are found.

21
Q

induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs)

A

adult cells turned into plutipotent cells.

22
Q

to create ipscs, scientists genetically reprogram the adult cells so they can behave like ________________. .they can differentiate into various types of specialized cells.

A

to behave like embryonic stem cells.

23
Q

cord and tissue stem cells

A

cord blood stem cells are harvested from the umbilical cord after child birth.

24
Q

how are stem cells used in regenerative medicine?

A
  1. grow new cells in a laboratory to replace damaged organs or tissues
  2. correct parts of organs that don’t work properly
  3. research the causes of genetic defects in cells
  4. research how diseases occur in cells (i.e. cancer cells) andh ow to cure them.
25
Q

sahsha, a girl bor nwith cerebral palsy was helped using

A

cord stem cells that her parents banked.

26
Q

cellular therapies are designed to help the bodys imune system to fight cancer. human cells are ______ to replace or repair damaged tissues or cells.

A

cells are transplanted to replace or repair

27
Q

til and tcr therapies can only target and eliminate cancer cells that present antigens in a certain context- scientists equip a patients t cells with a synthetic recptor known as ___. in ____t cell therapy

A

CAR- chimeric antigen receptor, t cell therapy.

28
Q

harvest naturally occuring t cells that have already infiltrated a patients tumors, then activates and expands tham. after, a large numbers of these activated t cells are re-infused into patients, where they seek our and destroy tumors in this type of therapy.
expanding these gives the patient a larger army of immune cells that are already trained to fight tumors. in this therapy

A

tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) therapy

29
Q

involves taking t cells from patients, but instead of just activating and expanding the available anti-tumor t cells, the t cells can also be equipped with a new t cell receptor that enables them to target specific cancer antigens. this treatment can be tailored to a patients specific needs. in this type of therapy

A

Engineered T Cell (TCR) Therapy.

30
Q

A type of cellular immunotherapy, just like car-t cell therapy. like t-cells, nk cells form part of the immune system and attack germs and other malignant cells in this ype. of therapy.

A

Natural Killer (NK) Cell Therapy

31
Q

TIL therapy is differs from CAR T therapy because the cells have to be

A

genetically modified to recognize tumor cells.

32
Q

how til therapy works in a therapy guided flow chart

A

isolation, activation, expansion re-infusion (more on 11/29 lecture slife). one time treatment, patients stay in hospital for a few days post treatment.

33
Q

the practicce of combining scaffolds, cells, and biologically active molecules into functional constructs that restore, maintain, or improve damaged tissues is called.

A

what is tissue engineering?

34
Q

tissue enginering how to have it ready to be done

A

cell isolation, cell expansion, 3d scaffold, tissue development, (growth factor in and cells in petridish type thing), and then implantation.

35
Q

scaffold

A

porus, biodegradablea, biocompmatoble surface for cellular adhesion and proliferation made to withstand mechanical performance. ex bone tissue engineering. bio ceramics, polymers and metalic biomaterials/ sppongey like thing but hard, like a pumus stone i guess i think so anyway.

36
Q

omething good for use for scaffolds in cartilage, bone, and tissue engineering that is porus, similar to a natural extra cellular matrix, requires a minimally invasive injection, and is able to match irregular defects. that also starts ar a regular tempreture and then solidify in the desired gel is called?

A

hydro gels like a replacement for cartilage. the knee thing nicolette mentioned. starts as a gel and then feels similar

37
Q

how hydrogels work

A

cartilage bone defects + stem cells + cell speration, then cell proliferation, then cell cocultured with hydrogel to creat injectable

38
Q

medical devices

A

are engineered robotics and tech machines created to support a failing organ or body part. ex VAD (ventricular assistive device)
