Tissue Engineering & Regenerative Medicine

Bone and Cartilage Tissue Engineering

This interdisciplinary engineering has attracted much attention as a replacement therapeutic means may overcome the drawbacks involved within the current artificial organs and organ transplantation that are also aiming at replacing lost or severely damaged tissues or organs. Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine is an exciting research area that aims at regenerative alternatives to harvested tissues for organ transplantation with soft tissues. Although significant progress has been made within the tissue engineering field, many challenges remain and further development during this area would require on-going interactions and collaborations among the scientists from multiple disciplines, and in partnership with the regulatory and therefore the funding agencies. As a results of the medical and market potential, there's significant academic and company interest during this technology.
