Cell-Based Bone Tissue Engineering

T o restore skeleton function in the fi eld of orthopaedic and oral-maxillofacial surgery, bone tissue regeneration remains an important challenge. Spinal fusion, augmentation of fracture healing, and reconstruction of bone defects resulting from trauma, tumour, infections, biochemical disorders, or abnormal skeletal development are clinical situations in which surgical intervention is required...

Cell-Based Strategies for Meniscus Tissue Engineering

Meniscus injuries remain a significant challenge due to the poor healing potential of the inner avascular zone. Following a series of studies and clinical trials, tissue engineering is considered a promising prospect for meniscus repair and regeneration. As one of the key factors in tissue engineering, cells are believed to be highly beneficial in generating bionic meniscus structures to replac...

Tissue Engineering Based on Cell Sheet Technology

Recently, cell-based therapies, regenerative medicine, and tissue engineering have been progressing rapidly. With the injection of single cell suspensions, the injected cells are expected to remain around the damaged host tissues for the maintenance and recovery of native functions. Injections of bone marrow cells have been applied in many ways, and achieved some good clinical results. However,...

Cell-based tissue engineering for lung regeneration.

Emphysema is a chronic lung disease characterized by alveolar enlargement and tissue loss. Tissue engineering represents an attractive potential for regeneration of several organ systems. The complex three-dimensional architectural structure of lung parenchyma requiring connections of alveolar units to airways and the pulmonary circulation makes this strategy less optimistic. In the present stu...
