Hepatic tissue engineering

Transplant Immunology, 2004
Fulminant hepatic failure (FHF) attributes to rising medical cost and accounts for many deaths each year in the United States. Currently, the only solution is organ transplantation. Due to increasing donor organ shortage, many in need of transplantation continue to remain on the waiting list.

Microgravity tissue engineering

In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology - Animal, 1997
Tissue engineering studies were done using isolated cells, three-dimensional polymer scaffolds, and rotating bioreactors operated under conditions of simulated microgravity. In particular, vessel rotation speed was adjusted such that 10 mm diameter x 2 mm thick cell-polymer constructs were cultivated in a state of continuous free-fall.

Gastrointestinal tissue engineering

Expert Review of Medical Devices, 2007
Tissue engineering is an emerging discipline that combines engineering principles and the biological sciences toward the development of functional replacement tissue. Virtually every tissue in the body has been investigated and tremendous advances have been made in many areas.

Fetal Tissue Engineering

Clinics in Perinatology, 2009
Attempts at harnessing the prospective benefits of the therapeutic use of fetal cells or tissues date many decades before the modern era of transplantation. The first reported transplantation of human fetal tissue took place in 1922. Fetal cells or tissues also have been used as helpful investigational tools since the 1930s.

Skin tissue engineering

Clinics in Plastic Surgery, 2003
The coverage of extensive wounds with viable autologous keratinocytes remains the only option of treatment if autologous donor skin is not obtainable. There is evidence that proliferating keratinocytes, as suspended cells or as a single layer, are adequate for wound closure. Understanding keratinocyte-matrix interactions not only allows us to influence

Bladder Tissue Engineering

Urologic Clinics of North America, 2010
The bladder can lose the ability to store and empty effectively as a result of numerous conditions. When conservative methods to maximize patient safety and quality of life fail, surgical reconstruction of the bladder is usually considered. Augmentation cystoplasty can be performed with the use of the small bowel, large bowel, or less often, stomach ...

Breast Tissue Engineering

Annual Review of Biomedical Engineering, 2004
▪ Abstract  Tissue engineering has the potential to redefine rehabilitation for the breast cancer patient by providing a translatable strategy that restores the postmastectomy breast mound while concomitantly obviating limitations realized with contemporary reconstructive surgery procedures. The engineering design goal is to provide a sufficient volume

[Tissue engineering].

Nederlands tijdschrift voor tandheelkunde, 2002
Tissue engineering is a fast developing multidisciplinary field. Both from a medical and social point of view, there is great need to safe tissues and organs to overcome the shortage of donor organs and to reduce the health care cost. At the same time, progress made in the field of molecular sciences as well as in biomaterials and chemical engineering,

Cartilage Tissue Engineering

2011
Cartilage tissue engineering is the art aimed at repairing defects in the articular cartilage which covers the bony ends in the joints. Since its introduction in the early 1990s of the past century, cartilage tissue engineering using ACI has been used in thousands of patients to repair articular cartilage defects.

Airway tissue engineering

Expert Opinion on Biological Therapy, 2011
Prosthetic replacements, autologous tissue transfer and allografts have so far failed to offer functional solutions for the treatment of long circumferential tracheal defects and loss of a functioning larynx. Interest has therefore turned increasingly to the field of tissue-engineering which applies the principles and methods of bioengineering ...
