Tissue Engineering :Recapitulating the cascade of development . |

Current approaches to restore or replace significant Quantities of lost living tissues comes with substantial limitations and inherent disadvantages which may in themselves cause further disability. Along with the challenges of an increasingly aging demographic, changing clinical scenarios and raising functional expectations provide the imperative for new, more reliable therapy for clinical/ regenerative / strategies.
Although, the science and technology of Tissue Engineering has expanded dramatically in recent years notably toward new products and human clinical trials, critically even fewer strategies are being scaled up for commercial manufacture . The successful development of an emergent biommetic strategy offers exciting opportunities to improve the quality of life for many, in the face of increasing patient's expectations.
In the intervening years, it will be necessary to clarify and demonstrate the continuum of cues of life science as well as the interplay between them and the local environment that govern their behavior and fate. Ultimately, the true gauge of successful application will lie in the relevance of these strategies in vivo for an increasingly aging population.
