Advances in tissue engineering technology for kidney regeneration and construction

Yusuke Nishimura et al. J Artif Organs. 2022 Sep.

Abstract

Tissue engineering is a highly interdisciplinary research field aiming at repairing, replacing, and regenerating the defective tissues. Over several decades of research, a variety of methods have been developed. The technical methods can be categorized into scaffold-based and scaffold-free strategies. In this mini review, the discussion will be focused on the technical methods of tissue engineering for kidney regeneration and construction.

Keywords: Biomaterials; Kidney regeneration; Organoids; Tissue engineering.
