Tissue engineering is a rapidly growing field that seeks to repair or replace tissues and organs by delivering combinations of cells, biomaterials, and/or biologically active molecules. Tissue engineering merges several aspects of engineering, biology, and medicine, and many rapid achievements in this field have arisen from significant advances in the integration of these fields. Despite early successes, however, few functional tissue-engineered products are currently available for clinical use. The development and application of rational design criteria and technologies for the assessment of tissue function would be expected to improve the success of engineered products.
