Wake Forest University Health Sciences
The purpose of this study is to establish viable cell culture system techniques for a variety of healthy and diseased tissues for use in future in vitro and in vivo research studies in tissue engineering.
Healthy and diseased tissue will be harvested from tissue routinely discarded in the NCBH operating rooms, or from delivery rooms at Forsyth Medical Center during routine operative or childbirth procedures. Samples will be identified by source and disease state only. Disease state may be of several types including inflammation, malignancy, fibrosis, atherosclerosis, hyperplasia etc. These tissue samples will be promptly transported under sterile conditions to the Institute of Regenerative Medicine. The tissues will be broken down into individual cells by mechanical or enzymatic methods, dilute…
Eligibility Criteria: * The subjects would include anyone undergoing a surgical procedure by one the of the surgeon co-investigators, during which discard tissue may be harvested.
