Description:
Tissue engineering can be used to restore, maintain, or enhance tissues and organs. The potential impact of this field, however, is far broader-in the future, engineered tissues could reduce the need for organ replacement, and could greatly accelerate the development of new drugs that may cure patients, eliminating the need for organ transplants altogether.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Griffith, Linda G -- Naughton, Gail -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2002 Feb 8;295(5557):1009-14.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Chemical Engineering, Division of Bioengineering and Environmental Health, and Biotechnology Process Engineering Center, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA. griff@mit.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11834815" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
