Tissue Engineering Can Be Useful In the Treatment of Paediatric Patients

 

Tissue Engineering

Tissue Engineering is an interdisciplinary field concerned with the development of functional three-dimensional tissues using cells, scaffolds, and bioactive molecules. Cell biology, chemistry, material science, molecular biology, medicine, and engineering are all part of this field. It can be used to create functional constructs that can be used to restore, preserve, or improve the condition of injured body parts or tissues. Tissue engineering, which combines cells from the body with highly porous scaffold biomaterials, also aids in the regeneration of damaged tissues. Scaffold biomaterials serve as templates for tissue regeneration and guide new tissue growth.

Tissue Engineering is gaining traction in a variety of fields, including wound care, burn treatment, orthopaedics, neurology, and urological products. Tissue engineering can be useful in the treatment of paediatric patients.

A Research study by Coherent Market Insights Says, Global Tissue Engineering Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 9,436.0 million in 2022 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 11.7% during the forecast period (2022-2030).

Tissue or organs missing at birth in congenital anomalies such as bladder exstrophy, esophageal atresia, and congenital diaphragmatic hernia pose significant surgical challenges. Furthermore, tissue engineering approaches have gained prominence in burn wound management. Tissue-engineered skin substitutes have great potential for widespread use in wound healing, particularly to address the limited availability of autologous skin. Burn and trauma-related injuries are on the rise. Demand for Tissue Engineering

With an ageing population and an increase in chronic diseases, there is a need for more effective medical treatments, as well as trained tissue engineering researchers to deliver these technologies. This is one of the major factors that is expected to drive growth. Tissue engineering provides alternatives to surgical reconstruction, transplantation, and mechanical device-directed tissue repair. According to the National Library of Medicine, in March 2020, an estimated three million people worldwide are affected by spinal cord injury (SCI), with 180,000 new cases reported each year, resulting in severe motor and sensory functional impairments that affect personal and social behaviours. As tissue engineering technology is being developed for use in a variety of different fields, particularly in the biomedical field, a clear understanding of the mechanisms of tissue engineering is important.
