Advanced Functional Materials

Tissue engineering is a field of biomedical science focused on developing biological substitutes to repair or replace damaged tissues and organs. It combines cells, scaffolds, and growth factors to create functional tissue structures that can mimic the properties of natural tissues. By using techniques like 3D bioprinting and stem cell therapy, tissue engineering aims to treat conditions such as burns, wounds, and organ failure, potentially reducing the need for organ transplants and improving regenerative medicine.
