Tissue Engineering: Multiscaled Representation of Tissue Architecture and Function

Replacement of a lost or failed organ is a long-standing problem in medicine. Research in the field of tissue engineering is progressing rapidly towards the replacement of numerous organs. Each organ is a complex system, and analysis of an organ requires understanding of phenomena over a range of length scale. This chapter provides an overview of the multiscale analysis currently used and under development in the field of tissue engineering.
