Tissue Engineering, An Overview

  • Chapter
Tissue Engineering

Abstract

In organizing the present Symposium, I have leaned mainly on my own conception of what Tissue Engineering embraces. There are surely more views than one that will be tempered and melded as the field grows. Tissue engineering can be thought of in terms of its goals, namely the following: 1) providing cellular prostheses or replacement parts for the human body; 2) providing formed acellular replacement parts capable of inducing regeneration; 3) providing tissue or organ-like model systems populated with cells for basic research and for many applied uses such as the study of disease states using aberrant cells; 4) providing vehicles for delivering engineered cells to the organism; and 5) surfacing non-biological devices. Discussion of each of the foregoing goals and examples of work toward them make up Part I of this overview. Citations from the experience of others and our own are by no means inclusive. Part II deals with additional examples; primarily it deals with specific areas of work that are or may become underpinnings of this new field.
