       Tissue engineering is the use of a combination of cells,
       engineering and materials methods, and suitable biochemical and
       physicochemical factors to improve or replace biological
       functions. While it was once categorized as a sub-field of
       biomaterials, having grown in scope and importance it can be
       considered as a field in its own right.
       While most definitions of tissue engineering cover a broad range
       of applications, in practice the term is closely associated with
       applications that repair or replace portions of or whole tissues
       (i.e., bone, cartilage,[1] blood vessels, bladder, skin, muscle
       etc.). Often, the tissues involved require certain mechanical
       and structural properties for proper functioning. The term has
       also been applied to efforts to perform specific biochemical
       functions using cells within an artificially-created support
       system (e.g. an artificial pancreas, or a bio artificial liver).
       The term regenerative medicine is often used synonymously with
       tissue engineering, although those involved in regenerative
       medicine place more emphasis on the use of stem cells or
       progenitor cells to produce tissues.
