Tissue engineering: challenges and opportunities

M S Chapekar. J Biomed Mater Res. 2000.

Abstract

This article reviews the key developments in the tissue engineering field over the past several years. The issues related to the development of the components of tissue-engineered products including cells, biomaterials, and biomolecules, and their integration into safe and effective products are presented. Moreover, the article outlines the challenges to the commercialization of tissue-engineered products, and highlights the ongoing efforts by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) in developing standards for tissue-engineered medical products. Furthermore, funding opportunities at the Advanced Technology Program at NIST are presented. Published 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
