Tissue Engineering: Current Strategies and Future Directions
Novel therapies resulting from regenerative medicine and tissue engineering technology may offer new hope for patients with injuries, end-stage organ failure, or other clinical issues. Currently, patients with diseased and injured organs are often treated with transplanted organs. However, there is a shortage of donor organs that is worsening yearly as the population ages and as the number of n...
متن کاملTissue engineering in urethral reconstruction
Tissue engineering is an exciting and rapidly evolving technology. In this review, we discuss the recent progress made in the field of urethral reconstruction and consider the clinical implications and further advancement of these endeavours.
متن کاملTissue engineering in urethral reconstruction--an update.
The field of tissue engineering is rapidly progressing. Much work has gone into developing a tissue engineered urethral graft. Current grafts, when long, can create initial donor site morbidity. In this article, we evaluate the progress made in finding a tissue engineered substitute for the human urethra. Researchers have investigated cell-free and cell-seeded grafts. We discuss different appro...
متن کاملRespiratory Tissue Engineering: Current Status and Opportunities for the Future.
Currently, lung disease and major airway trauma constitute a major global healthcare burden with limited treatment options. Airway diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and cystic fibrosis have been identified as the fifth highest cause of mortality worldwide and are estimated to rise to fourth place by 2030. Alternate approaches and therapeutic modalities are urgently needed t...
متن کاملIs tissue engineering of patient-specific oral mucosa grafts the future of urethral reconstruction?
A patient has been diagnosedwith a 2 cm long urethral stricture. Acspecific oral mucosa. This can be undertaken by histological examination cording to Hillary et al., 2014 urethral reconstruction or augmentation urethroplasty is suggested, rather than excision and primary anastomosis. In accordance Ram-Liebig et al., 2017 describe in their article a twostep procedure for urethral reconstruction...
