| Abstract | This CAREER project will develop new ways to reshape living tissues for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Nature shapes organs and tissues by selectively removing cells in a process called apoptosis. This project will use spatially patterned light to induce apoptosis selectively to shape tissues. The high-resolution process will selectively remove cells while leaving neighboring cells intact. The team will test this approach in laboratory models of heart and liver tissue made from hu |
