What is tissue engineering? What does it do?
Tissue engineering is a field of research that aims to create functional tissues or organs by combining living cells with synthetic or natural materials.
The ultimate goal of tissue engineering is to regenerate or repair damaged or diseased tissues and organs, with the aim of improving patient outcomes and quality of life.
Tissue engineering involves several different steps, including the selection of appropriate cell sources, the development of suitable biomaterials, and the creation of the necessary conditions for cells to grow and differentiate into functional tissues. The engineered tissue can then be implanted into the patient’s body, where it integrates with the surrounding tissues and performs its intended function.
Some of the applications of tissue engineering include the creation of skin and bone grafts for burn victims or patients with skeletal defects, the development of functional heart valves and blood vessels, and the production of artificial organs such as kidneys and livers. Tissue engineering also has the potential to provide a platform for drug discovery and testing, as it allows researchers to create more realistic models of human tissues and organs in the laboratory.
