A Truly New Approach for Tissue Engineering: The LOEX Self-Assembly Technique

  • Conference paper
Stem Cell Transplantation and Tissue Engineering

Part of the book series: Ernst Schering Research Foundation Workshop ((SCHERING FOUND,volume 35))

Abstract

Tissue engineering has created several original and new avenues in the biomedical sciences. There is ongoing progress, but the tissue-engineering field is currently at a crossroads in its evolution; the validity of this technique is well established. Thus, new clinical applications must appear rapidly, within a few years, so that it will have a true impact on patient care. The self-assembly approach of the Laboratoire d’Organogénèse Expérimentale (LOEX) should be at the forefront.
