February is American Heart Month, and in light of that, we're bringing back an episode about a group here at Stanford Engineering that's developing 3D printing methods for human tissues and organs, a process known as bioprinting. Motivated in part by the critical need for heart transplants, Mark Skylar-Scott and his team are specifically working to bioprint tissues of the human heart. It may sound like science fiction, but it's actually just another example of the groundbreaking research we do here. We hope you'll take another listen and be inspired by the possibilities.Have a question for Russ? Send it our way in writing or via voice memo, and it might be featured on an upcoming episode.

Dr. Lázaro has a PharmD from the University of Alcalá in Spain and a PhD in Regenerative Medicine from the University College London, before completing her postdoctoral work at the Wyss Institute at Harvard. In this episode, we will hear about Dr. Lázaro's experiences in pursuing a research career, pursuing opportunities internationally, the obstacles facing early-career researchers, and navigating a work-life balance in the first years of her independent career.
Imagine that we could make tissues indistinguishable from those produced by humans or animals, at will, and at comparable cost to the natural products. With the rate of progress being made, it won't be imaginary much longer.If we don't need to kill animals for food, leather, or other products, then we reduce animal suffering. We increase biodiversity because we don't need to devote huge land areas to feed farm animals. And we help climate change - the meat industry is a huge contributor to greenhouse gases. This dream needs more than cultivated cells. We need to organise them into tissues, with multiple cell types in the correct places and doing the right things. Directing cells to organise into tissue structures such as leather, corneas and cultivated meat has huge implications for medicine, fashion and the food industry.Che Cannon joins me in this episode to share his work in this area. Che is the CEO of BSF Enterprise PLC, and we delve into the intersection of science and business in developing innovative technologies such as this.Che shares the complexity of tissue mechanics and the advantages of bottom-up methods over traditional top-down approaches. We also talk about the environmental benefits and ethical considerations of alternative leathers and cultivated meats. Additionally, Che explains the progress that has been made on the medical device front with corneal repair. On the business side, we also cover the unusual step by the company to raise funds by listing on the stock exchange.There are many practical applications of these technologies, and they are surely the future of sustainable materials in various industries, making these developments hugely important.“Cultivated meat has a good purpose and can lift lots of technologies.” – Che ConnonYou'll hear about:01:11 Exploring Cell and Material Interaction03:30 Tissue Engineering and Its Applications06:22 The Science Behind Lab-Grown Leather15:31 Cultivated Meat: Innovations and Challenges20:41 Macromolecular Crowding in Cell Culture25:27 The Future of Cultivated Meat28:49 Market Opportunities in Asia31:46 Corneal Repair Technology36:06 BSF Enterprise: A Unique Path to Funding40:01 Future Directions in Research and DevelopmentConnect with Che Connon:LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/checonnon/ 3D Bio-Tissues - https://www.3dbiotissues.com/ Kerato - https://kerato.co.uk/ BSF Enterprise - https://bsfenterprise.com/ Connect with me:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/markdavison100/ If you need any lab equipment:Grant Instruments: https://www.grantinstruments.com/ Grant Instruments on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/grant-instruments-cambridge-ltd/

Neural Implant podcast - the people behind Brain-Machine Interface revolutions
Today's guest is Christine Schmidt who is a University of Florida faculty member and former department share who works in regenerative neural tissue engineering. Top 3 Takeaways: "We're trying to create scaffolds that can be templates for the body to repair itself, to grow around, and ultimately become natural tissue, seamlessly integrating with the body's own." "Other faculty were discouraging. This is because academia tends to prioritize scholarly pursuits such as papers and grants, often undervaluing applied work and its real-world applications." "Our clinical collaborator actively participated in the lab alongside Sarah. Together, they would work on batches, with Sarah creating formulations and providing immediate feedback based on the tactile experience. The collaborator would discern whether a material was suitable for surgical use, offering invaluable insights into the practicalities surgeons face." 0:45 Can you introduce yourself better than I just did? 1:15 What is tissue engineering? 5:00 How did you get into this? 8:30 By focusing on entrepreneurial endeavors you were at risk of not getting tenure, how did you still get it? 14:15 Which was more useful for your career, entrepreneurial or academic? 16:45 How was your technology licensed? 22:15 Do you want to talk about your other startup, Alafare? 32:30 You then moved to Florida and then eventually became department chair, why did you do that? 36:45 How did you do the department chair and research at the same time? 37:45 Is there anything else that we didn't talk about that you wanted to mention?

In this podcast episode, MRS Bulletin's Laura Leay interviews Hamideh Khanbareh and Vlad Jarkov of the University of Bath in the UK about an application they introduced for using piezoelectric materials in tissue engineering. The researchers fabricated a composite by combining polydimethylsiloxane with a piezoelectric material of potassium-sodium-niobate that is compatible with cell lines similar to neurons. They then studied how the composite material would interact with neural stem cells. They found that the piezolectrically activated composites allowed the cells to spread across the surface of the material and saw an increase in the amount of neurons. Usually the use of piezoelectric materials in tissue engineering requires mechanical stimulation from either movement of the body or the application of ultrasound. In this research, no additional mechanical stimulation was required. This work was published in a recent issue of Advanced Engineering Materials.

Timestamps: 03:22 - Swiss women in STEM 08:10 - The high demand for incontinence testing 10:07 - Positive feedback from trials 15:29 - The challenges when conducting trials 20:17 - Funding difficulties About Deana Mohr-Haralampieva: Deana Mohr-Haralampieva is the CEO & co-founder at MUVON Therapeutics, a groundbreaking startup developing a therapeutic platform for the regeneration of skeletal muscle tissue. With a background in radiopharmaceutical sciences, tissue engineering, and STEM cell therapies, Deana has extensive research experience, including a Master of Science in Cellular and Molecular Biology from the University of Konstanz, and she continued to focus on tissue repair therapy with a Ph.D. from ETH. She boldly transitioned into the startup world, driven by her passion for bringing innovative solutions to life. MUVON Therapeutics was originally a life science spin-off from the University of Zurich developing a therapeutic platform for regenerating skeletal muscle tissue based on autologous cells, repairing damaged tissue, and increasing the regenerative potential of weakened muscles. Their initial area of focus was the treatment of stress urinary incontinence in women, supporting them respectfully throughout their journey to a healthier and better quality of life. The societal challenges surrounding women in STEM fields are a constant obstacle for female founders in these fields. The need for increased female representation and dispelling stereotypes is as relevant as ever, as Deana herself has encountered misconceptions about her work, but she has also experienced firsthand the progress made in this regard, witnessing a positive shift in the number of women joining STEM courses. The goal for MUVON Therapeutics is to continue making strides in regenerative medicine and open up trials for more varied groups of women to have access to this therapy, and to also make it accessible for men. The long-term goal would be international reach by expanding to the US and the rest of Europe. Memorable quotes: "Pharma can be a scarier world than the startup world, but our project was already on the go, so we decided to stay onboard and see it through: and here we are!" "Seeing the muscle fibers twitching in the lab, I knew this would work, and we decided to make it happen." Don't forget to give us a follow on our Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and Linkedin accounts, so you can always stay up to date with our latest initiatives.

A native of Los Angeles, Dr Brenner obtained his Board certification in General Surgery, completed a fellowship in Tissue Engineering, and was Board certification in Plastic Surgery following his second residency in Plastic Surgery at UC Irvine. He has been in private practice and on staff at Cedars Sinai Medical Center since 2006. Together, we discuss breast implant illness, his experiences with patients who have explanted, how BII and explanting are beginning to be discussed at medical seminars, and "The Brenner Breast Team," where he has combined his post surgery services with holistic wellness as well. You'll love hearing Dr. Brenner's openness to understanding more about BII, and his decision to begin collecting data with his patients to better understand the illness.Caroline's Linktree: https://linktr.ee/carolinecmathiasDr. Brenner's website: https://www.kevinbrennermd.comContact Dr. Brenner's office: 310.777.5400
