An intensive tissue engineering workshop, led by Oron Catts & Dr. Stuart Hodgetts (Symbiotica Lab, The University of Western Australia) on the basic principals of animal tissue culture and engineering.<\/p>\n
During the lab we utilised immortal HeLa (1) cells, Foetal calf serum, cow femur bone cells and anti-biotic media to grow tissue culture. Through seeding and passaging (2) the cells in were able to replicate, grow whilst promoting division. The cells were then introduced to a scaffolded mould from made from degradable polymer to the shape and grow three dimensional living tissues.<\/p>\n
During the lab we also discussed the history of tissue engineering and its’ link to early European research into eugenics, artists tissue culture projects critiquing the bio-medical sciences utilising life as capital and the critical and ethical issues on using living, animal or human cells.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n
