Abstract:
Tissue engineering is a discipline involving both materials science, engineering and life science. It has found successful application in Bioartificial renal tubule assist device RAD which is still under development. Experiments have proved that RAD can serve as renal tubule to perform its transport, metabolic and endocrine functions in patients with acute or chronic renal failure.
