Regenerative Medicine & Tissue Engineering

Regenerative Medicine & Tissue Engineering

Tissue Engineering is the process of combining scaffolds, cells, and biologically active molecules to create functional tissues. It developed from the area of biomaterials development. Creating functional constructs that repair, sustain, or enhance damaged tissues or entire organs is the aim of tissue engineering. Designed tissues include artificial epidermis and cartilage.

Research on self-healing, in which the body uses its own mechanisms, occasionally with assistance from external biological material, to recreate cells and rebuild tissues and organs, is also included in the wide field of regenerative medicine.  As the field strives to concentrate on cures rather than treatments for complex, frequently chronic illnesses, the words "tissue engineering" and "regenerative medicine" have largely come to be used interchangeably.
