Fetal Tissue Transplants in Medicine

field. Thus, even with varying objectives by each author(s), such detailed analyses of knowledge about SLE provide a valuable resource for the clinician. Lahita's 1992 edition of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus provides an updated, though editorially inconsistent, consideration of the disease, suitable for clinicians and researchers alike. Even though much of its information may already have grown...

Ethical issues in fetal tissue transplants.

Tissue engineering of biphasic joint cartilage transplants.

In isolated posttraumatic or idiopathic joint defects the chondral layers and adjacent subchondral spongy bone are usually destructed. For regeneration we suggest the in vitro formation of a cartilage-coated biomaterial carriers (biphases) in order to fill the correspondingjoint defects. In this study Biocoral, a natural coralline material made of calcium carbonate, and calcite, a synthetic cal...

Sentinel Skin Allograft for Monitoring of Composite Tissue Transplants Rejection

In contrast to visceral solid-organ transplants, a vascularized composite tissue allograft (CTA) is not a single tissue, and is histologically heterogeneous. It is a neurovascularized module of nonvital tissues which include structural, functional and aesthetic units. CTAs are composed of a large spectrum of ectodermal tissues: epidermis and epidermal derivatives such as nails and hair, nerves ...
