Original Source: Karocell Tissue Engineering AB
Karocell Tissue Engineering AB was started in 2001 based on research from the Karolinska Institute since the end of the 1980’s. It was founded by Professor Gunnar Kratz and Doctor Anders Boman to further develop their ideas within culturing of cells and tissue engineering. Tissue engineering, which is one of the fastest growing areas in medicine today, applies the principles of biology and engineering to the development of functional substitutes for damaged tissues. The objective is to have the engineered...

Application of whole-organ tissue engineering in hepatology
Whole-organ tissue engineering could help address the shortage of donor livers by using damaged organs that would otherwise be rejected for transplantation. In this Perspectives article, Uygun and col...
GEN reports on growth of tissue engineering revenues
(Mary Ann Liebert, Inc./Genetic Engineering News) More than half (52 percent) of the companies comprising the tissue engineering and stem cell industries are revenue-generating, compared to about 21 p...
In the 1970s and 1980s, tissue engineers began working on growing replacement organs for transplantation into patients. While scientists are still targeting that goal, much of the tissue engineering r...

Micro- and nanotechnology in cardiovascular tissue engineering.
While in nature the formation of complex tissues is gradually shaped by the long journey of development, in tissue engineering constructing complex tissues relies heavily on our ability to directly ma...
Cardiovascular tissue engineering research support at the national heart, lung, and blood institute.
Tissue engineering aims at building 3-dimensional living substitutes that are equal to or better than the damaged tissue to be replaced. The development of such a tissue replacement requires a multidi...
Applications of elastin-like polypeptides in tissue engineering.
Elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) have found utility in tissue engineering applications, not only because they are biocompatible, biodegradable, and non-immunogenic, but also because their amino acid s...
Tissue engineering and ureter regeneration: Is it possible.
Large ureter damages are difficult to reconstruct. Current techniques are complicated, difficult to perform, and often associated with failures. The ureter has never been regenerated thus far. Therefo...
