Using Cell Transplantation And Materials, Tissue Engineering Creates Substitute Tissues And Encourages The Regeneration Of The Body's Own Tissues

The goal of the interdisciplinary field of Tissue Engineering is to create three-dimensional, functioning tissues by mixing cells, scaffolds, and bioactive chemicals. Cell biology, chemistry, material science, molecular biology, medicine, and engineering are some of the scientific disciplines that are involved in this sector. It can be used to create constructs that are functional and that can be used to repair, preserve, or enhance the condition of tissues or body parts that have been injured. By fusing body cells with highly porous scaffold biomaterials, tissue engineering also aids in the regeneration of damaged tissues. Scaffold biomaterials direct the growth of new tissue and serve as templates for tissue regeneration.
