Robert Lanza is a MD from Pennsylvania University and now working as chief scientific officer. He is an expert in the field of medical engineering like tissue engineering. Robert Lanza wrote many books on tissue engineering but “the principles of tissue engineering” gained popularity. Tissue engineering is a modern technique. It is a combination of natural, biological sciences and engineering. This combination provides us a chance to improve and maintain the functioning of tissues in the body system. Working with the engineering principles and life science components you can understand the methods of tissue growth. This combination enables us to use the tissue cultures in the cures and treatments of dangerous and impossible to treat diseases like cancer of blood, brain, liver, chest and kidneys etc.
Robert Lanza has a lot of work in the form of research papers and books on the subject of tissue engineering. He made the research problems and issues of tissue engineering simple and comfortable to understand. Robert Lanza offered a cheap and realistic approach in the tissue engineering. Robert Lanza performed an experiment about it and finally concluded the easy method and procedure of tissue engineering. Biopsy is the first step in this technique. It is the diagnosis of the patient’s body where infection is present. Judging the infection and its reasons is very important before treatment. Next step after the biopsy is the isolation of the tissues from that body part. This can be done by taking blood and a small portion of the infected part.
Robert Lanza isolated the tissues with the help of self invented tools and instruments. Cultivation of the isolated tissues is very important in order to multiply it for the further experiments. The tissues are cultivated on the tissue vascular grafting. The grafting serves as a nutritional medium for the development of the tissues by providing natural conditions like temperature. After that purification of the tissues is a next step. Robert Lanza changed it by replacing the old and conventional methods used for this purpose. Tissues are separated and isolated form the germs and other cells for the process of scaffold.
Scaffold is a multi step technique. It is a three dimensional construction which provide the tissue an artificial growing media. This also helps to isolate and transfer the tissues. Tissue behaviors are changed by exposing the right biochemical agents and nutrition. Robert Lanza planted or inserted those healthy and modified tissues in the patient’s body as a cure. Improvement in tissue engineering is a marvelous work done by Robert Lanza.
