The field of tissue engineering is a rapidly growing interdisciplinary field within regenerative
medicine involving biology, chemistry, physics, engineering and medical sciences, which
focuses on the fabrication of replacement tissues and organs. Another major focus of tissue
engineering is the creation of ex vivo-manufactured multi-organ test systems, in order to
explore fundamental questions of cell, matrix and developmental biology. These ex-vivo
manufactured systems can also be used to study drug delivery dynamics.
