Tissue Engineering Review October 8, 2010

In order to grow tissues, labs have to do such things in a very similar way to which they naturally grow.  This is not an easy task though, because there is never a guarantee that it will work.  Scientists basically have to persuade the cells into growing and staying alive.  The physical environment is also important in the growth of the cells because the cells need the proper amount of nutrients and means of waste removal just like naturally grown cells have.  I found the article about the mouse very interesting.
