Here, we demonstrate fabrication of collagen-based, tissue constructs containing skeletal myoblasts. These 3-D engineered constructs may be used to replace or repair tissues in vivo. For our purposes, we have designed these as an atrioventricular electrical conduit for the repair of complete heart block[1].

For creation of highly organized structures of complex tissue, one must assemble multiple material and cell types into an integrated composite. This combinatorial design incorporates organ-specific layered cell sheets with two distinct biologically-derived materials containing a strong fibrous matrix base, and endothelial cells for enhancing new vessels formation.

This model system starts from a myofibroblast-populated fibrin gel that can be used to study endogenous collagen (re)organization real-time in a nondestructive manner. The model system is very tunable, as it can be used with different cell sources, medium additives, and can be adapted easily to specific needs.

2025
The video demonstrates a technique to generate a humanized mouse model with stem-cell-based engineered immunity against the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Human fetal thymus tissue and engineered hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are implanted into the kidney capsule of a severely immunocompromised mouse. The HSCs, which express chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) against HIV, are mixed in a gelatinous protein mixture that promotes their co-localization with thymus tissue. Post-procedure, the...
FAQs
Construction engineering connects design requirements with practical decisions about construction methods, material selection, equipment operations, scheduling, and quality control. Engineers evaluate whether proposed structural or civil designs can be safely executed under actual site and resource constraints. This translation helps align design intent with coordinated field activities and reduces problems caused by gaps between design and construction.
Site conditions and expected loads affect the methods, materials, and controls selected for a project. Construction engineers account for these factors when planning foundations, earthwork, concrete systems, and steel systems. Considering them early supports safe, buildable outcomes and helps the completed infrastructure achieve the intended durability rather than relying on design assumptions that may not match construction realities.
Material selection and equipment operations must fit the project requirements, available resources, site conditions, and safety constraints. Their coordination influences how efficiently work can proceed and whether quality requirements are maintained. In construction engineering, these decisions are evaluated alongside methods and schedules, helping control cost and time while supporting the performance and durability expected from buildings and infrastructure.
Scheduling organizes construction activities so methods, equipment, materials, and resources are coordinated rather than treated as separate decisions. Quality controls check whether the resulting work aligns with project requirements and design expectations. Together, they help construction engineers manage time and cost, identify risks associated with execution, and support safer, more durable outcomes across structural and infrastructure projects.
Planning begins by interpreting project requirements and structural or civil designs, then selecting suitable construction methods, materials, equipment operations, and schedules. Engineers also account for site conditions, loads, resources, and safety constraints. Quality controls are incorporated into this plan so the work can be coordinated from initial preparation through construction while maintaining safe and buildable results.
The principles apply to buildings, transportation systems, and other infrastructure, including work involving foundations, concrete systems, steel systems, and earthwork. The emphasis changes with the project, but each application requires coordination between design decisions and field execution. This broad scope makes construction engineering relevant to both individual structures and larger infrastructure networks.
Better planning and construction technologies allow engineers to coordinate methods, resources, equipment, materials, schedules, and quality controls more effectively. That coordination can reduce project risk and help manage cost and time while supporting durable results. In infrastructure development, these practices also contribute to sustainable development by improving how construction decisions affect long-term project performance and resource use.
