Tissue Engineering

Tissue engineering is a biomedical engineering discipline that uses a combination of cells, engineering, materials methods, and suitable biochemical and physicochemical factors to revive, maintain, improve, or replace differing types of biological tissues. Tissue engineering typically involves the utilization of cells placed on tissue scaffolds within the formation of recent viable tissue for a medical purpose however isn't restricted to applications involving cells and tissue scaffolds. Whereas it had been once categorized as a sub-field of biomaterials, having mature in scope and importance it are often thought-about as a field in its own. Mixtures of cells and materials have the flexibility to reorganize themselves supported the strength of adhesion between cells and substrate and among the assorted cell sorts gift within the tissue construct. Finally, tissue constructs should be intimately integrated into the host's vascular system so as provide to produce economical nutrient supply and waste removal.
