Tissue Engineering: Advances in Organ Replacement
نویسندگان
چکیده
The human body has an amazing ability to undergo self-repair. However, this natural regeneration process is limited, and in those patients with infection or disease, the body’s repair process may be compromised. To improve, maintain, or restore function to damaged or diseased tissues, scientists are looking to engineer tissue equivalents either as temporary substitutes while the body heals or as permanent replacements.
