Tissue Engineering

New advances in stem-cell technology have well the prognosis for tissue engineering. The usage of cultured stem and/or progenitor cells has the potential to advance the amount of renewal, and also increases the likelihood that the transplanted tissue will join with the surrounding tissue. It could ultimately even reduce or eliminate the need for immunosuppressive drugs. The term regenerative medicine is often used synonymously with tissue engineering, although those involved in regenerative medicine place more emphasis on the use of stem cells or progenitor cells to produce tissues.
