    Study Notes

    Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine

    • The goal of tissue engineering is to recreate cells and rebuild tissues and organs using foreign biological material.
    • Tissue engineering is a field that includes research on self-healing and the use of foreign biological material to recreate cells and rebuild tissues and organs.

    Approved Engineered Tissues

    • Examples of engineered tissues approved by the FDA include:
      • Apligraf for venous ulcers
      • Dermagraft for diabetic foot ulcers
      • Gintuit for oral mucogingival conditions

    Relationship Between Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine

    • Tissue engineering is a subset of regenerative medicine.
    • Regenerative medicine encompasses tissue engineering and beyond.
    • The main focus of tissue engineering is to recreate cells and rebuild tissues and organs.
    • The goal of regenerative medicine is to restore or replace damaged or diseased cells, tissues, and organs to establish normal function.

    Scope of Regenerative Medicine

    • Regenerative medicine encompasses beyond tissue engineering, including:
      • Cellular therapies
      • Gene therapies
      • Biomaterials and bioactive molecules
