Show 2 - The Daily Utah n Brief Editor, Laura T. Hancock: l.t.hancockchronicle.utah.edu Assistant News Editor, Dave Hancock: davechronicle.utah.edu News Campus Donor Gives University $i .3 Million The University of Utah has received a $1.3 million grant from the W.M. Keck Foundation of Los Angeles to establish a tissue engineering center. The new W.M. Keck Center for Tissue Engineering will focus on growing and repairing various types of human tissue. Housed in the Biomedical Polymers Research Building on campus, the center will work toward translating basic research into applied science, creating clinically practicable and commercially feasible therapies using biomaterials. "This grant provides us with a unique opportunity to combine the study of stem cell biology with biomaterials engineering. Our goal is to bring together engineers, biologists and clinicians to develop new clinically important technologies in the near future." One of the new center's foremost objectives will be to pursue the replacement or reconstruction of dis eased, damaged or missing tissue of the central nervous system. For example, researchers expect to make significant advances in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's Disease. "We're on the cusp of understanding how to repair and perhaps replace many of the tissues in the human body," Tresco said. "I can't describe in words how important and helpful this grant is and will be in helping facilitate our ambitious objectives." Among the research projects at the new center will be the development of materials that interact with cells and tissues to promote more rapid healing and integration into the host tissue; new culture systems to act as biological substitutes for animal tissue to reduce the need for animal testing; and the development of a new generation of catheters for drug delivery, patient monitoring and the transplantation of living cells. U News Service Nation Posthumous Puppy Needs Fixing black When Boo, a Labrador, died a week after being adopted, owner Michelle Colonna reported the death, consoled her grieving family and moved on. Not so fast, said the shelter that sold her the puppy: Boo hasn't been spayed. The Animal Assistance League of Chesapeake has sued Mrs. Colonna and her husband for breach of contract, claiming the couple promised to have Boo fixed. "It's so obvious that we can't spay a dog that is dead," Mrs. Colonna, 29, said Wednesday. The couple asked a judge to dismiss the case. In May, the Colonnas received a AT Bikes Chronicle News Writer day. Looking for a television set? Maybe you're parking in the wrong place.
