Central airway obstruction (CAO) is a condition that affects adults and children. Its incidence
is not precisely known, but it is consensual that it is underestimated because clinically it may …

Tissue engineering is an emerging interdisciplinary field, occupying a major position in the
regenerative medicine that aims at restoring lost or damaged tissues and organs with use of …

Most human tissues do not regenerate spontaneously; this is why cell therapies and tissue
engineering are promising alternatives. The principle is simple: cells are collected in a …

The emerging principles of tissue engineering (TE) and regenerative medicine (RM) have
already been marked as the beginning of a new epoch for next-generation …

Regenerative medicine has made a substantial progress in the last decade with more
technologies ready to help patients. Translation of these therapies from the benchtop to the …

The man-made creation of tissues, organs, or even larger organisms was for a long time a
matter of myth and dream throughout the history of medicine. It now comes into clinical …

Regenerative medicine relies on the utilisation and manipulation of cells, biomolecules and
bio-scaffolds for the in vitro generation of transplantable tissues or the acceleration of the …

Tissue damage caused by disease or trauma necessitates a substitution of the damaged
tissue through tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. It is a multidisciplinary …
