Description:
The module Tissue engineering shall enable that students are knowledgeable about physiological, biological and physio-chemical aspects related to the tissue reconstruction in medicine. Owing to that students shall achieve understanding of correlations between tissues of a living organism and tissue reconstruction methods as well as possibilities to reduce effects of interactions. The understanding of those relationships shall result in deepening the skill of tissue reconstruction principles and the testing methods to control phenomena on the phase boundary on a micro- and nano-metres scale.
Prerequisites:
Achievement of effects of eduction in the modules: introduction to biomaterials, ceramic biomaterials, metallic biomaterials, polymers for medicine, materials surface engineering, selected issues from biomaterials toxicology, materials degradation in a biological environment, biological and physiological aspects of biomaterials, materials testing methods.
