Tissue engineering, referring to the technologies that use physical, chemical, biological and engineering processes to control and direct the aggregate behaviour of cells, has become a field of increasing commercial interest. Though tissue engineering as a field has been around since the late 1970s, there have been few commercial successes. However, human understanding of biology, and our ability to manipulate it, has finally reached a point where complex living tissue equivalents are being developed. This report investigates this next generation of tissue engineering products and their potential in the next 10 years.
