Tissue engineering is a biomedical engineering discipline that uses combinations of engineering, cells, materials and biochemical cues to restore, maintain, improve or replace different types of biological tissues. As the understanding of how these factors interplay deepened, the research field of tissue engineering rapidly expanded. So, in order to disseminate the new discoveries in the field, a number of new journals were established. Today, we are starting to see the development of tissue engineered products becoming available and used clinically, and this includes products for hard and soft tissue reconstruction and augmentation for improved clinical outcomes.
