Tissue engineering in the USA
Abstract
Tissue engineering is the application of the principles and methods of engineering and the life sciences towards the development of biological substitutes to restore, maintain or improve functions. It is an area which is emerging in importance worldwide. In the USA it has been actively fostered by the National Science Foundation, both through research grants and the sponsorship of a series of workshops starting in 1988. This brief review of activities in the USA focuses on cell culture technology as a foundation for tissue engineering and then discusses examples of applications. These include artificial skin and the use of encapsulated cells in the development of bioartificial organs. Also discussed is the reconstitution of a blood vessel in culture, both for use in basic research and for implantation as an artificial blood vessel in bypass surgery. In conclusion, other potential applications are mentioned as well as generic areas of technology for future development.
