Technology Insight: applications of tissue engineering and biological substitutes in urology
Abstract
Patients suffering from diseased or injured organs may be treated with transplanted organs. Engineered tissue has a variety of potential applications throughout urology, from reconstruction of the urethra or bladder following trauma or surgery, to growing reproductive organs for individuals with congenital malformations. In this review, Anthony Atala discusses the different techniques and materials employed in tissue regeneration and tissue engineering, and their urologic applications.
