Tissue engineering strategies for adipose tissue repair. Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Tissue engineering is a relatively young field that combines engineering, clinical science, and life sciences to, in part, repair or regrow tissues. Adipose tissue has recently become a focus area for tissue engineering, encouraged by the large number of reconstructive, cosmetic, and correctional indications that could be addressed with clinically translatable adipose tissue engineering strategies. This review discusses the three aspects of an adipose construct, namely cell types, scaffold, and microenvironment, and presents current tissue engineering strategies under pursuit.
