Fundamentals of tissue engineering: Tissues and applications
Technology and Health Care, 2002As the average life expectancy has increased with advances in the medical sciences the degenerative diseases have become a critical issue. More organs, joints, and other critical body parts wear out and need to be replaced because people wish to maintain a good quality of life in their old ages.

Osteochondral tissue engineering
Journal of Biomechanics, 2007Osteochondral defects (i.e., defects which affect both the articular cartilage and underlying subchondral bone) are often associated with mechanical instability of the joint, and therefore with the risk of inducing osteoarthritic degenerative changes.

Bioreactors in Tissue Engineering
Technology and Health Care, 2010A bioreactor can be defined as a device that uses mechanical means to influence biological processes. In tissue engineering bioreactors can be used to aid in the in vitro development of new tissue by providing biochemical and physical regulatory signals to cells and encouraging them to undergo differentiation and/or to produce extracellular matrix ...

Current Urology Reports, 1998
Congenital abnormalities, cancer, trauma, infection, inflammation, iatrogenic injuries, and other conditions may lead to genitourinary organ damage or loss, requiring eventual reconstruction. Tissue engineering follows the principles of cell transplantation, materials science, and engineering toward the development of biological substitutes that would ...

Tissue engineering: Tubular tissues
1996A wide range of tissues within the body share a common tubular geometry. This chapter will focus on the approaches and challenges to engineer tubular tissues which contain a central lumen. These tissues (e.g., intestine, trachea) share the basic function of allowing flow, or convective transport of some material through the tissue.

Tissue Engineering of Musculoskeletal Tissue
2010The musculoskeletal system includes numerous types of tissues of diverse composition and structure, including bone, cartilage, synovium, tendon, ligament and skeletal muscle tissues. Disorders of the musculoskeletal tissues often result in pain, deformity, and/or malfunctions of joints, and are more likely to interfere with the quality than the ...

Tissue engineering of reproductive tissues and organs
Fertility and Sterility, 2012Regenerative medicine and tissue engineering technology may soon offer new hope for patients with serious injuries and end-stage reproductive organ failure. Scientists are now applying the principles of cell transplantation, material science, and bioengineering to construct biological substitutes that can restore and maintain normal function in ...

Clinics in Plastic Surgery, 2011
Each one of us is a self-organizing mass of multiple cell types. From fertilization of the embryo our tissue structures develop until an adult morphology is achieved. At that point our capacity for self-organization is directed to maintaining that morphology in the face of the insults of our daily life and the processes of aging.

Tissue Engineering of the Microvasculature
Comprehensive Physiology, 2019ABSTRACTThe ability to generate new microvessels in desired numbers and at desired locations has been a long‐sought goal in vascular medicine, engineering, and biology. Historically, the need to revascularize ischemic tissues nonsurgically (so‐called therapeutic vascularization) served as the main driving force for the development of new methods of ...
