| | Tissue engineering - Nature Biotechnology |
| | Part of the interest and support for tissue engineering comes from the armed forces, in that numerous battlefield-related medical applications exist for tissue-engineered products and biomaterials. | | | Tissue engineering is emerging as a significant potential alternative or complementary solution, whereby tissue and organ failure is addressed by implanting natural, synthetic, or semisynthetic tissue and organ mimics that are fully functional from the start, or that grow into the required functionality. | | | Tissue and organ failure, produced as a result of injury or other type of damage, is a major health problem, accounting for about half of the total annual expenditure in health care in the US Treatment options include transplantation (human or xenotransplantation), surgical repair, artificial prostheses, mechanical devices, and in a few cases, drug therapy. |

| | As advances in research continue at the juncture of neuroscience, tissue engineering, signal processing, and microfabrication, the unique field of Neural Engineering is rapidly evolving. | | | Students will learn to view neural tissue as a series of embedded, mathmatically describable systems, and then explore the limits of our ability to measure, manipulate, interface with, or replace system components as required in basic science or clinical applications. | | | As our ability to characterize and manipulate neural tissue increases, the subsequent rapid development of potential applications creates an urgent need to train students in this emerging area. |

| | Central to successful osseous tissue engineering using these types of injectable scaffoldings would be the ability of the osteoblast cells to adhere to the scaffold, proliferate, differentiate, and subsequently mineralize. | | | As a result, the melding of cell and molecular biology with biomaterial sciences is critical with respect to the development of an injectable, localized biodegradable scaffold that would allow for controlled osseous tissue engineering in a site specific manner. | | | The placement of an implant into this type of osseous defect results in poor osseointegration and subsequently a poor prognosis for the therapeutic outcome, and in many of these patients the amount of bone loss is so severe that implant therapy is not even an option without extensive surgical intervention (Fig. |
