Stem cell technology for in vitro bone tissue engineering 407
characteristics will be compared. In the second part, TE strategies will be
described. To develop tissue engineered constructs, there has been a shift
from the traditional top-down approach towards a bottom-up approach,
whereby modular building blocks can create larger, more complex tissues.
Finally, focus will be given on the development of patient-speci c implants
with rapid prototyping (RP) technology.
At the end of the chapter, some highlights on future trends will be given.
Is TE evolving towards a cell-free approach, or is organ bioprinting our near
future?
