Tissue Engineering

Tissue engineering is a field of science that combines biology, engineering, and materials science to create artificial tissues or organs. It involves taking cells from the body and growing them on a scaffold or framework that mimics natural tissue. This process aims to repair or replace damaged or diseased tissues, helping to restore function. For example, tissue engineering can be used to develop skin for burn victims or create cartilage for joint injuries. By harnessing the body’s natural healing processes, it offers promising solutions for medical challenges that traditional treatments may not effectively address.
