• An emerging topic in biomedical engineering, a common major interest shared by biomaterials scientists and clinicians, is tissue engineering. This discipline aims to create biological tissues using cells for replacement of diseased or lost tissues and organs. This new trend can be attributed to a remarkable advancement in cell biology and biotechnology, coupled with the rapid development of biomaterials. Recent protein and cell engineering has allowed us to produce biological tissues that are much superior to man-made prostheses and artificial organs in terms of biocompatibility and biofunctionality. It is, therefore, understandable that tissue engineering has attracted the attentions of biomaterials scientists and clinicians alike. Some tissues produced by tissue engineering have been clinically tested. They include the skin, mandible, dura mater, and periodontal tissues. Many attempts are currently being made to create a variety of other tissue and organ substitutes by the technique of tissue engineering. Studies on bio-artificial liver and pancreas have also been carried out using allo- or xenogeneic cells. This article described prospectus of the tissue engineering.
