Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The need to stimulate angiogenesis is a critical requirement of future tissue engineering applications. Without extensive and co-ordinated forma new blood vessels many tissues will fail to form as a result of insufficient nutrient, cytokine and cell transport. The pivotal role of angiogenesis it liver, nerve, kidney, skin and other tissue regeneration strategies has been widely acknowledged and many researchers are working on the use angiogenic factors to stimulate blood vessel formation. However, current methods have neglected the need to synchronise angiogenesis with th formation of the surrounding tissue. Our new concept is to independently control the stimulation of tissue repair and angiogenesis. We will demi this concept by enhancing bone regeneration.
