Abstract
Tissue engineering is an interdisciplinary field that applies the principles of engineering and the life sciences to the development of biological substitutes that restore, maintain, or improve tissue function. From both a therapeutic and an economic standpoint, the potential impact of tissue engineering is enormous.
