Ethical aspects of tissue engineering: a review.
Tissue engineering (TE) is a promising new field of medical technology. However, like other new technologies, it is not free of ethical challenges. Identifying these ethical questions at an early stage is not only part of science's responsibility toward society, but also in the interest of the field itself. In this review, we map which ethical issues related to TE have already been documented i...
متن کاملBone Tissue Engineering: a Mini-Review
Despite advances in bone tissue engineering, auto grafts from intra-oral or extra-oral donor sites are still the gold standard for treatment of large craniomaxillofacial defects. Biomaterial development, application of growth factor, and stem cells, open new gateway to bone regeneration studies, but real translation from bench to bedside have not yet happened. In this review article, a number o...
متن کاملA review of advances in pancreatic tissue engineering
Background: A common treatment for patients with type 1 diabetes in which pancreatic beta cells are destroyed by their own immune system attack, is insulin injection. Because this treatment is not able to maintain complete glucose homeostasis compared to the function of endogenous insulin secreted by the pancreas; in the field of pancreatic tissue engineering, various treatment strategies have ...
متن کاملEthical aspects of neural tissue transplantation.
The method of neural grafting is considered to be a very promising therapeutic strategy for the treatment of certain neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease or Huntington's disease. During the last 15 years, clinical transplantation studies have been carried out worldwide in several hundreds of patients with Parkinson's disease. In these studies, primarily fetal mesencephalic ti...
متن کاملAspects of Urological Tissue Engineering
Factors affecting the homeostasis of the urological system stem from a multitude of different sources that include developmental miscues to aberrant signaling pathways leading to malignant transformations. In order to create functional tissues that can act as surrogate tissues while simultaneously mimicking endogenous anatomical and physiological functions, strategies utilizing regenerative med...
