Bioscience:Secrets of the Sequence（12）
Need a new heart or liver? Science is making spare parts for humans. The whole idea of tissue engineering is how do you get those cells to actually form the tissue and carry out the functions of tissue. Today， medical researchers are trying to develop that promethean ability to regenerate kidneys， hearts， intestines， you name it. Tissue engineering is not synonymous with genetic engineering， although it may include the use of embryonic stem cells and organ cloning. The promise of tissue engineering is enormous， especially for whole organ replacement.
