Application of bioengineering and biomimetic principles for the restoration, repair, replacement, and assembly of functional tissues and organs; application of engineering and life sciences in development of artificial tissues or organs using living cells and different types of biomaterial matrices such as hydrogel, 3 dimentional mesh scaffolds or biodegradable polymers; engineered tissues can restore, maintain, or improve tissue function.

Application of the principles of bioengineering to combining scaffolds, cells, and biologically active molecules into functional tissues. The goal of tissue engineering is to assemble functional constructs that restore, maintain, or improve damaged tissues or whole organs.

Generating tissue in vitro for clinical applications, such as replacing wounded tissues or impaired organs. The use of TISSUE SCAFFOLDING enables the generation of complex multi-layered tissues and tissue structures.

Tissue engineering, scientific field concerned with the development of biological substitutes capable of replacing diseased or damaged tissue in humans. The term tissue engineering was introduced in the late 1980s. By the early 1990s the concept of applying engineering to the repair of biological...
