The goal of tissue engineering is to mitigate the critical shortage of donor organs via in vitro
fabrication of functional biological structures. Tissue engineering is one of the most …

The definitive treatment for end-stage organ failure is orthotopic transplantation. However,
the demand for transplantation far exceeds the number of available donor organs. A …

TISSUE LOSS OR END-STAGE ORGAN FAILURE caused by injury or other types of
damage is one of the most devastating and costly problems in human health care. Surgical …

The field of tissue engineering continues to advance, sometimes in exponential leaps
forward, but also sometimes at a rate that does not fulfill the promise that the field imagined a …

There is an ever-growing demand for transplantable organs to replace acute and chronically
damaged tissues. This demand cannot be met by the currently available donor organs …

Organ transplantation is now a well-established procedure for the treatment of end-stage
organ failure due to various causes, but is a victim of its own success in that there is a …

In the past 25 years, the tissue engineering field has made incredible strides in developing
tangible therapies for patients in need. Applications of the tissue engineering paradigm …

Organ constructs are organ-like structures grown in vitro or in vivo that harbor the
components, architecture, and function of in vivo organs, in part or in toto. The convergence …

Engineering complex tissues and whole organs has the potential to dramatically impact
translational medicine in several avenues. Organ engineering is a discipline that integrates …
