| Cell and tissue engineering have captured the imagination of the press and the public. From artificial skin and bone for burn and accident victims, to growing “organs in a box” for organ transplants, the potential medical advances are revolutionary. However, there are many materials science, biochemical, bioengineering, and other challenges standing in the way of turning these opportunities into clinical reality. This talk will review the considerable progress being made on several fronts. |
