Tissue Science and Regenerative Medicine

Applications of Tissue Engineering

The scientific area of tissue engineering (TE) is primarily concerned with creating artificial tissues and organs in the lab by manipulating biological, biophysical, and/or biomechanical characteristics. The end result is typically the development of three-dimensional cellular constructs that more closely resemble genuine tissues than conventional monolayer cultures. More precise in vitro studies of human physiology and physiopathology are made possible by these systems, which also offer a set of biomedical tools that may be useful in toxicology, medical devices, tissue replacement, repair, and regeneration.
