Abstract:
Presently, with the development of tissue engineering technology, medical workers have seen a more effective and safer therapy to repair and reconstruct tissue defects. Many domestic and abroad animal experiments have confirmed that it is feasible, effective and superior to use tissue-engineered bone and cartilage for repairing tissue defects. There have been achieved considerable results using tissue-engineered bone and cartilage to repair tissue defects and reconstruct tissue functions through the animal experiments and initial clinical studies. Compare with traditional operations, tissue engineering technology has a broader clinical application, especially in orthopedics, department of stomatology, cranio-facial surgery and ear, nose and throat, department. However, through the research, we recognize some deficiencies of tissue engineering, such as single tissue components, lack of biological activity, limited for scaffolds, tissue regeneration and productions.
