An Emerging Paradigm in Tissue Engineering: From Chemical Engineering to Developmental Engineering for Bioartificial Tissue Formation through a Series of Unit Operations that Simulate the In Vivo Successive Developmental Stages KU Leuven
The field of Tissue Engineering is in a critical stage, with the need to replace the trial-and-error methods (which, so far, are the most-often used) with rational methodologies. The opinions of several research groups expressed in the literature, as well as recent research efforts, seem to converge on a change of direction toward in vitro recapitulation of the in vivo process of tissue formation (biomimetic processes), replacing the ...
