Biological Tissue

Engineering Biological tissue engineering is the branch of regenerative medicine that involves the use of living cells to create tissues and organs for patients in need of replacements. By combining the principles of biology, engineering, and materials science, medical professionals are able to construct a variety of tissues and organs, such as skin, bone, cartilage, and blood vessels, from a patient’s own body or from donor sources. This technology is invaluable for treating serious medical conditions, ranging from accidental injuries to congenital malformations of organs, and can provide a more permanent solution for the many who live with organ failure or other life-threatening diseases. It holds the promise of eliminating donor organ wait lists, reducing medical costs, and saving countless lives.
