... Cells have been cultured, or grown, outside the body for many years, but the possibility of growing complex, 3-D tissues - which is literally reproducing the design and function of human tissue - is a recent development. This filed of tissue engineering sounds exciting, but I am going to see what it offers modern medicine. This is the Tissue Engineering Process - from the cell culture and tissue formation in the laboratory to delivery by the surgeon to the patient Potential use of tissue engineering is best seen with chronic leg ulcers Elderly or diabetic patients get sores on their legs that refuse to heal. These cause constant pain and discomfort. Cause by a failure of natural healing to 'kick -in' and natural biological signals that are given off by the body to start healing are missing. We can use tissue engineering to create a 'living bandage' This will provide the biological signals needed to start
