Definitions for "Tissue Engineering"
The application of the principles of life sciences and engineering to develop biological substitutes for the restoration or replacement of tissue or organ function. Tissue engineering combines knowledge from the biological sciences with the materials and engineering sciences to quantify structure-function relationships in normal and pathological tissues, to develop new approaches to repair tissues, and to develop replacements for tissue. See Tissue Art and Culture, Stem Cells.
engineering of biological materials - molecules, cells, tissues, or organs - to repair or replace an organism’s existing biological structures
Relatively new field in which synthetic material and biomolecules are used to design a functional part of an organ
The creation of living tissues for therapeutic purposes. In Synairgen’s case, tissue is grown in complex in vitro models to recapitulate the airways
Growth of human organs or tissues in the laboratory from cells removed from the patient.
A way of building new tissue by replicating cells.
