Tissue engineering shows great promise, with lab-grown tissues already in clinical use for simpler structures like the cornea. Complex tissues, though decades away, offer valuable models for understanding physiology, especially in musculoskeletal research.

Area of Science:

  • * Regenerative Medicine and Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • * Tissue engineering is a rapidly advancing field with significant potential for clinical applications.
  • * Current successes include laboratory-engineered cornea tissues used in patient treatment.
  • * Complex tissue architectures present significant challenges for clinical translation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • * To provide a personal perspective on the role of tissue engineering in advancing physiological understanding.
  • * To highlight the utility of engineered tissues as models for studying complex biological processes.
  • * To focus on the specific contributions of tissue engineering to musculoskeletal research.

Main Methods:

  • * Review of current state-of-the-art in tissue engineering.
  • * Analysis of challenges in developing complex engineered tissues.
