On 22 December 2005, the New York Daily News reported that the bones of Cooke and many other people had been surgically removed before cremation by employees of Biomedical Tissue Services of Fort Lee, New Jersey, a tissue-recovery firm.

In February 2006, Dr. Michael Mastromarino, then a 42-year-old former New Jersey-based oral surgeon and CEO and executive director of operations at Biomedical Tissue Services, was convicted along with three employees of illegally harvesting human bones, organs, tissue and other cadaver parts from individuals awaiting cremation, for forging numerous consent forms, and for selling the illegally obtained body parts to medical companies without consent of their families, and then sentenced to long prison terms.

Biomedical Engineering is the building of useful replacements for various parts of the human body.

* Biomedical: all aspects of health, physical and mental, developed within the human body as influenced by genetic make-up.

The National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research was initially established in 1974 to identify the basic ethical principles that should underlie the conduct of biomedical and behavioral research involving human subjects.

The aftershocks of this study, and other human experiments in the United States, led to the establishment of the National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research and the National Research Act.

In 1998, he wrote the essay, Arguments Against The Use Of Nonhuman Animals In Biomedical And Scientific Experimentation, where he seeks to examine the ethical implications of the experimentation on animals and refute its supposed contribution to the medical research for human health.

Dstl ’ s Biomedical Sciences department is involved with drug evaluation and efficacy testing ( toxicology, pharmacology, physiology, behavioural science, human science ), trauma and surgery studies, and animal breeding.

A company controlled by Dobelle, Avery Biomedical Devices, and Stony Brook University are continuing development of the implant, which has not yet received Food and Drug Administration approval for human implantation in the United States.

A faculty-initiated PhD program, the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences ( GSBS ) trains scientists in a specialty area with a broad background in the basic medical sciences in preparation for conducting research with direct relevance to human disease.

One program of the Health Group, the Pew Biomedical Scholars Program in the Biomedical Sciences, is intended to support promising early and mid-career scientists investigating human health, both basic and clinical.

* Biomedical tissue

Tissue stretching has long been known to stimulate mitosis, and research shows that regenerated human tissues have the attributes of the original tissue.

The Human Tissue Act superseded the Anatomy Act 1832 which was found by an independent commission ( The Redfern Report ) to be inadequate on contemporary collection and use of human tissues, following the Alder Hey organs scandal.

Eleni V. Antoniadou, Head of the Biosciences Department at Transplants Without Donors LLC, mentioned in her talk at the 2012 Annual Meeting of the Regenerative Medicine and Tissue Engineering Society the following: " From a humanistic standpoint, the major aim of creating artificial organs is to give an end to the human organ trafficking, a transnational organized crime, that is rising in third world countries and has become a lucrative facet of economic development by annihilating the need for real organs.

The Human Tissue Authority is a non-departmental public body in the United Kingdom that regulates the removal, storage, use and disposal of human bodies, organs and tissue for a number of scheduled purposes such as research, transplantation, and education and training.

According to the Human Tissue Act, the HTA and its authority are governed by a code of conduct for the handling of human tissue, and the bodies of the deceased, but does not give the HTA authority over exhumed remains from archaeological sites.

" The Human Tissue Act ( HT Act ) 2004 established the Human Tissue Authority ( HTA ) as the regulatory body in England, Wales and Northern Ireland for all matters concerning the removal, retention, use and disposal of human tissue ( excluding gametes and embryos ) for specified purposes.

There is separate legislation in Scotland, the Human Tissue ( Scotland ) Act 2006 and the Authority performs certain tasks on behalf of the Scottish Executive ( approval of living donation and licensing of establishments storing tissue for human application ).

* Stage 1 ( spontaneously reversible ): Tissue is still at the " nonpitting " stage: when pressed by the fingertips, the tissue bounces back without any indentation.

Cryopreservation of ovarian tissue, often called Ovarian Tissue Cryopreservation, is of interest to women who want to preserve their reproductive function beyond the natural limit, or whose reproductive potential is threatened by cancer therapy, for example in hematologic malignancies or breast cancer.

Tissue staining techniques in the later half of the 19th century were inadequate for studying nervous tissue.

The American Association of Tissue Banks estimates that more than one million tissue transplants take place in the United States each year.

* Tissue embolism – embolism of small fragments of tissue.

Tissue embolism is a near-equivalent to cancer metastasis, which happens when cancer tissue infiltrates blood vessels, and small fragments of them are released into the blood stream.

* Tissue factor pathway inhibitor ( TFPI ) limits the action of tissue factor ( TF ).

* Sound Medicine-Heart Tissue Regeneration-July 19 interview discussing ECM and its uses in cardiac tissue repair ( requires MP3 playback ).

Tissue heart valves are usually made from animal tissues, either animal heart valve tissue or animal pericardial tissue.

Tissue in the muscles of the deceased carry out anaerobic metabolism in the absence of oxygen, using muscle glycogen as the energy source, and significant amounts of lactic acid are released into the muscle tissue.

Tissue expansion has been used on the scalp for treating scalp scarring, in lieu of hair transplation when there is insufficient donor hair to transplant on the scar or the scar tissue is not vascularized to support hair growth.

These treatments delays the tissue expansion process by approximately four to eight weeks. Tissue expanders have silicone outer shells and either an internal valve or external port to allow for saline fluid injections.

Tissue engineering has also been defined as " understanding the principles of tissue growth, and applying this to produce functional replacement tissue for clinical use.

In the UK, following the Human Tissue Act 2004 all organs and tissue must be returned to the body unless permission is given by the family to retain any tissue for further investigation.

Tissue culture commonly refers to the culture of animal cells and tissues, while the more specific term plant tissue culture is being named for the plants.

Tissue preparation or fixation is essential for the preservation of cell morphology and tissue architecture.

Tissue plasminogen activator also plays a role in cell migration and tissue remodeling.
