Abstract

Tissue engineering is a novel and highly exciting field of research. With tissue engineering techniques it may be possible to repair damaged tissues or even create replacement organs. This article reviews the principles underlying key tissue engineering strategies and the typical components used. Examples of tissue engineering include passive approaches, such as dental implants, and inductive approaches, in which specific molecular signals are used to activate cells.

摘要

组织工程是一个新颖且极具吸引力的研究领域。借助组织工程技术，修复受损组织甚至制造替代器官或许成为可能。本文回顾了关键组织工程策略的基本原理以及所使用的典型组件。组织工程的实例包括被动方法，如牙植入物，以及诱导方法，即在诱导方法中使用特定分子信号来激活细胞。
