McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine

The McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine presents “Regenerative Medicine Today,” an audio podcast series that features interviews with scientists and clinicians addressing new therapies, where the primary strategy is to repair/replace tissue and organs that have been damaged by disease or trauma, vs. the classical approach used today to treat the symptoms of the insult to the body. Also included are patient interviews where regenerative medicine helped to address their affliction.

RMT Podcast #19 – Robert Kormos, MD

McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine ·

2006/10/04

Our last podcast featured the bioengineer responsible for much of today’s artificial heart technology. Now meet Dr. Robert Kormos, a clinician who has used those artificial hearts to help people survive until donor hearts were available. Some patients even recovered enough heart function to eliminate the need for transplantation. Dr. Kormos is the [...]

2006/09/29

Twenty years ago, a pioneering team of clinicians and engineers had a vision to use a mechanical heart-assist device as an aid to a patient with a failing heart, and to ascertain if such a heart assist device could serve as a “bridge” for an ailing heart until a transplantable organ became available. [...]

Fifty years ago, Uncas Whitaker – the founder of the Harrisburg, PA-based electrical connector company AMP -- foresaw what engineers could do for medicine and human health. In 1975, he established a nonprofit foundation to help advance medical science and heal the sick and injured. Until its planned closing in summer 2006, the [...]

In podcast #16, learn about two technologies that help keep tissues oxygenated in dire times. Dr. William Federspiel is developing devices that do some of the lungs’ critical work of adding oxygen to blood and removing carbon dioxide. These aren’t ventilators, which mechanically inflate the lungs with air, but small devices that can [...]

2006/06/15

The First Laboratory-Grown Organ Dr. Anthony Atala made headlines in April 2006 when he announced that his team had successfully grown new bladders for seven patients with spina bifida, a condition in which the spinal column fails to completely close during fetal development. While healthy bladders maintain a reasonably low pressure as they [...]

When the spinal cord is injured, commands and sensations can’t travel between the limbs and the brain, so arms and legs are can’t respond to the will to move. Until recently, physicians have not been able to offer spinal cord injury patients much hope for regaining function. But if the brain’s intention could [...]

Each year, approximately 200,000 persons in the United States suffer tears of their anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Approximately 2/3 of those tears require surgical reconstruction (1/3 at the time of injury and 1/3 at a later time). While orthopaedic surgeons are on the front line to repair tears of the ACL, Dr. Savio [...]

You can’t make a working synthetic tissue or joint until you fully understand how a natural one functions. That’s the mantra of Dr. Van Mow, who has led the field of tissue engineering decades, and a co-creator of the generalized theory of classical mechanics, which makes it possible to calculate the mechanical loads [...]

A impaired heart can doom a person to a shortened life span of limited mobility, each movement a tremendous effort. More than 13 million Americans suffer from heart disease. Each year, 500,000 Americans are diagnosed with heart failure, the most severe form of heart disease. Heart disease can be treated with medications and [...]

Our heart pumps about 2,000 gallons of blood each day. Our heart valves ensure all that blood moves in the right direction. When a heart valve fails, the heart must work harder to keep organs properly nourished. If the heart works too hard, it can begin to weaken and fail. Malfunctioning heart valves [...]
