Tissue engineering involves creating new connective tissues or organs from cells and scaffolds for implantation, addressing issues like congenital abnormalities and tissue scarcity. The process typically includes obtaining tissue samples, growing new cells, and implanting them. Recent advancements in the field focus on using natural proteins and hydrogels to improve heart muscle engineering and reduce dependence on nerve grafts.

1. TISSUE ENGINEERING
Tissue Engineering is the study of
the growth of new connective
tissues, or organs, from cells and
a collagenous scaffold to produce
a fully functional organ for
implantation back
into the donor host.
WHY TISSUE ENGINEERING IS
PREFERRED?
•Congenital abnormalities require
tissue reconstruction.
•Most tissues cannot regenerate
following a disease or injury.
•Transplantation is limited by the
scarcity of donor tissue.
•Permanent implants have a lot of
success ,
but lot of problems.

Mechanism of Tissue
Engineering
How is it perform?
Step 1:Get tissue sample (cells)
from the body
Step 2:Growing cells into new
tissue
Step 3:Implanting new tissue

What’s new in
tissue
engineering?
•To tackle the challenge
of engineering heart
muscle, the scientist have
been working with
natural proteins that form
gelatin-like materials
called hydrogels
•A new combination of
tissue engineering
techniques could reduce
the need for nerve grafts
