Tissue Engineering : The New Frontier of Biotechnology Innovation
Tissue engineering is one of the emerging of regenerative medicine and tissue repair that combines the materials and principles of cell transplantation so as to promote endogenous regeneration or to develop substitute tissues. The tissue engineering aims to maintain, restore, or enhance whole organs or damaged tissues.

How tissue engineering Works?
The process of tissue engineering is a complicated one. It involves forming a 3D functional tissue to help repair, replace, and regenerate a tissue or an organ in the body. To do this, cells and biomolecules are combined with scaffolds.
Scaffolds are artificial or natural structures that mimic real organs (such as the kidney or liver). The tissue grows on these scaffolds to mimic the biological process or structure that needs to be replaced. When these are constructed together, new tissue is engineered to replicate the old tissue's state when it wasn't damaged or diseased.
Why is tissue engineering important?
Tissue engineering is an important field of regenerative medicine for tissue repair (after damaged caused by a disease or an accident, for example). To offer this possibility, stem cells are important tools owing to their capacity to differentiate into a large number of cells according to the stimuli provided
What are the three main components/ types of tissue engineering?
Three general components are involved in tissue engineering: (1) reparative cells that can form a functional matrix; (2) an appropriate scaffold for transplantation and support; and (3) bioreactive molecules, such as cytokines and growth factors that will support and choreograph formation of the desired tissue.
What are the advantages of tissue engineering?
A distinctive feature of tissue engineering is to regenerate patient's own tissues and organs that are entirely free of poor biocompatibility and low biofunctionality as well as severe immune rejection. Owing to the outstanding advantages, tissue engineering is often considered as an ultimately ideal medical treatment.
