BIOL2010 — Cell and Tissue Biology for Biofabrication
BIOL 2010 - Cell and Tissue Biology for Biofabrication BIOL 2010 - Cell and Tissue Biology for Biofabrication Hours/Week: Lecture 3 Course Description: This course provides students earning the biofabrication certificate a foundation in cell and tissue biology required to succeed in the field of biofabrication. The course covers cell and tissue types, including those used in bioprinting, components of the extracellular matrix, factors that influence cell and tissue maturation, bioink components, sterile technique, staining, imaging, and microscopy, biohazardous materials and safety, and steps involved in 3D printing biological material. Culturing cells and tissues requires adherence to aseptic or sterile technique. The course includes a variety of hands-on projects applying knowledge of cells and tissues to the field of biofabrication. MnTC Goals None distinguish between various tissue types, including the challenges to bioprinting each type analyze the advantages and disadvantages of various bioinks used in bioprinting to determine appropriate bioink for a particular 3D construct. compare and perform advanced forms of staining, imaging, and microscopy used in cell and tissue culture for 3D bioprinting. explain factors that influence cell and tissue maturation. demonstrate proper handling of biohazardous material. demonstrate proper and consistent use of sterile technique apply content knowledge and skills to print a project made of biological material. analyze printed projec
