Experimental research unit
Head of unit: Dr. Ghanavi
E-mail address: ghanavi@ sbmu.ir
Introduction:
This unit consists of an operation room for large animals ( dogs and sheep) and a small operation room for small animals( which are usually chosen inbred). Tissue engineering laboratory, with facilities to produce scaffolds, refine ketosan- collagen and kitin, and stem cell culture and development on specially designed scaffolds. The abilities of these operation rooms in cooperation with tissue engineering laboratory, has turned this unit into one of the most successful units of this research center.
Activities of this unit:
1. Production and transplantation of trachea
2. Refining all kinds of collagen
3. Producing nano particles of collagen
4. Telescopic anastomosis of carotid artery
5. Cooperation with almost all research centers of Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences
6. Production of all kinds of scaffold using nano structures and programmable dimensions of porous
Research activities:
Research projects:
1. Production of trachea on biologic matrixes and their transplantation
2. Designing telescopic anastomosis of carotid artery of sheep
3. Designing collagen- ketosan matrixes
4. Stem cell differentiation using matrix effect
5. Study of effect of stem cell mobilization on ATN recovery in rat using GCSF injection
6. Study of effect of Captopril and Losartan on epithelial cell apoptosis and pulmonary fibrosis induced by Bleomicin in rat
7. Effect of jugular vein cryopreservation for vessels of sheep neck
8. Study of pulp changes in one root of multiple root teeth of dog after Apical Vital Root Amputation
