Tissue engineering (TE) A multidisciplinary field aimed at development of biological substitutes to restore, maintain or improve basic tissue function. Organ failure - From injury, disease or ageing. - Current treatments are surgical reconstruction, mechanical devices and transplantation. - Have limitations such as: lack of donors, diseased organs, rejection, limited suitability tests, reduced quality of life, don't grow with young patients (=> need more surgery), nonfunctional prost...

Define Tissue Engineering "is an interdisciplinary field that applies the principles of engineering and the life sciences toward the development of biological substitutes that restore, maintain, or improve tissue function" (Langer, Vacanti, Science, 1993). How does NIH define tissue engineering? Tissue engineering evolved from the field of biomaterials development and refers to the practice of combining scaffolds, cells, and biologically active molecules into functional tissues. The g...
