Key Concepts

• Efforts to build living tissue replacements have progressed over the past decade, and some simple engineered tissues are already used in humans.
• Advances have come from a greater understanding of cell behavior and sophisticated new building materials.
• More tissue-engineered products are close to commercial readiness but must undergo the complex regulatory scrutiny given to living materials.
