All tissues are subjected to the risk of tissue damage. Tissue damage refers to any alteration to the structure and/or the function of that tissue. To counter tissue damage, our bodies are equipped with a self-healing mechanism aiming at restoring tissue structure and function. The underlying mechanism, however, is rather poor and slow in mammalians. Moreover, in cases of severe damage, the mechanism is insufficient to repair the damage and usually, surgical intervention is mandated. For that and more, tissue engineering was conceptualized as a multidisciplinary science field in which an implantable scaffold, loaded with cells, biological cues and/or chemical …
