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
