Tissue engineering concepts will enter the clinical arena in thoracic and cardiovascular surgery soon and at high speed, replacing many procedures currently in practice. Drivers for change are suboptimal implants (heart valves) and missing implants (heart muscle). Medical device industry has to include these new concepts into their future perspectives.

Medical advances have led to a welcome increase in life expectancy. However, accompanying longevity introduces new challenges: increases in age-related diseases and associated reductions in quality of life. The loss of skeletal tissue that can accompany trauma, injury, disease or advancing years can result in significant morbidity and significant socio-

Engineering cartilage tissue [PDF]
Cartilage tissue engineering is emerging as a technique for the regeneration of cartilage tissue damaged due to disease or trauma. Since cartilage lacks regenerative capabilities, it is essential to develop approaches that deliver the appropriate cells, biomaterials, and signaling factors to the defect site.

Esophageal tissue engineering [PDF]
Esophageal tissue engineering is still in an early state, and ideal methods have not been developed. Since the beginning of the 20th century, advances have been made in the materials that can be used to produce an esophageal substitute. Three approaches to scaffold-based tissue engineering have yielded good results.
