ABSTRACT
Tissue engineering holds forth the promise of new regenerative therapies to address many forms of diseases and injuries, with the potential to greatly improve outcomes in elds such as wound care, ophthalmology, orthopedics, cardiac and vascular surgery, and organ replacement.1-9 This chapter focuses on a selection of clinical needs amenable to tissue engineering solutions, the most promising scaffold fabrication technologies currently under investigation, their capabilities and limitations, and engineering insights into the regenerative process.
