  • This article discusses efforts to engineer a living tissue replacement in a laboratory. The difficulties associated with the engineering of vasculature, which is necessary for the creation of tissue that is more than several microns thick, are addressed. Research into the engineering of arterial tissue, blood vessels, skin, and cartilage are described. INSETS: A FULL PIPELINE;NO LONGER ON THE HORIZON.
