The pyramids of Gizeh, reductionist research-based progress, unintended consequences and the complexity of medicine

Bing graduated from the Medical Faculty at Erasmus University in Rotterdam, The Netherlands in 1988. He then completed a PhD in Medical Sciences (University of Calgary), internship (University of Regina) and surgical residency (University of Western Ontario) and post-residency clinical fellowships (University of Toronto and Harvard University) followed by a research post-doctoral fellowship (Department of Cell Biology, University of Toronto). Bing has been with the Roth | McFarlane Hand and Upper Limb Centre at St. Joseph’s Health Centre since 1998. He is a Professor of Surgery and Medical Biophysics at Western University. His clinical practice focuses on hand and wrist surgery, microsurgical reconstruction and complex wound reconstruction, with a particular clinical and research interest in patients with Dupuytren’s contracture. He is also interested in other fibrosing conditions, such as hypertrophic scarring. Bing was a Canadian Society for Clinical Investigation (CSCI) Member of Council 2004-2011and CSCI President 2009-2011.

And Function

INTRODUCTION: Novel concept known as tissue engineering is for the betterment of human. The use of much advanced molecular science and cell biology in processing the tissues to regenerate even after the loss of inborn tendency of pluripotent cells to multiply is possible by this new therapy. CONTENT: Periodontal tissue regeneration in both height and function is attributed to a complete recovery of the periodontal structures, that is, the formation of alveolar bone, a new connective attachment through collagen fibers as well as functionally oriented on the newly formed cementum is regeneration. Cell based therapies including tissue regeneration is an alternative approach for the regeneration of tissues damaged by disease or trauma. SUMMARY: Though tissue engineering requires the fundamentals of all the three keys namely genomics, proteomics and biometrics to give the solutions to biological problems appearing in dentistry as well as medical sciences.
