Abstract

Tissue engineering has emerged as an alternative approach for the treatment of the loss or malfunction of a tissue or organ with the advantage of not having the limitations of the current orthodox therapies. Basically, the concept of this technology has been the transplantation of constructs consisting of cells grown ex vivo within predesigned scaffolds made up of exogenous three-dimensional extracellular matrices (ECMs). The scaffolds employed to guide the functional tissue development, eventually break down leaving only the cells and the stroma that they produce in the body1–3.
