The tissue engineering that is now emerging in biomedical research groups is concerned with living tissues and how we can harness biological processes to achieve healing and repair, where it is otherwise failing. It aims to develop our scientific understanding of how living cells function, so that we can gain control and direct their activity to the promote the repair of damaged and diseased tissue1.
