Abstract:
Tissue engineering can regenerate autologous tissue using a biodegradable scaffold and in vitro expanded cells derived from small biopsy samples, and thus may have great potential for tissue repair and reconstruction in plastic and reconstructive surgery. As an important step towards a clinical application, research work in large animals is essential. This article presents our experience of tissue engineering and repair in large animals in the areas of bone, cartilage and tendon.
