What is Tissue Engineering?
Broadly Defined: Tissue Engineering Broadly Defined: Tissue Engineering is the development and manipulation is the development and manipulation of artificial implants, laboratory-grown of artificial implants, laboratory-grown tissues, genetically engineered cells tissues, genetically engineered cells and/or molecules to replace or support and/or molecules to replace or support the function of defective or injured the function of defective or injured parts of the body.parts of the body.

How we have define regenerative medicine?
Tissue Engineering and Biomaterials
Replacing diseased or injured tissues with tissue constructs designed and fabricated for the specific needs of each individual patient.
What are Biomaterials?Material intended to interface with biological systems to evaluate, treat, augment or replace any tissue, organ or function in the body.

Unlike human skin, Apligraf does not contain melanocytes,macrophages, and lymphocytes, or other structures such as blood vessels, hair follicles or sweat glands.
Apligraf is a living, bi-layered skin substitute consisting of living cells and structural proteins.

SIS ECM
First marine mammal application of ECM tissue repair!
Meet Liko, 3-year old dolphin at Dolphin Quest on Hawaii’s Big Island,
Liko sustained a tear at base of his dorsal (top) fin -- likely in a game of “chase” with his dolphin cohorts.
Thanks to Dr. Badylak’s SIS ECM, Liko has healed and is again performing.

Inadequate understanding of basic biology of regenerative processes
Lack of adequate biomimetic materials to act as scaffolds for induction of regeneration in vivo, or to build bioartificial tissues in vitro
Inadequate cell sources for transplantation or building bioartificial tissues
Problem of immunosuppressive regimens introduced by allogeneic and xenogeneic cells.
Bioethical issues associated with the use of fetal and embryonic stem cells as sources
