Cells for tissue engineering.

Recent advances in stem-cell technology have improved the prognosis for tissue engineering. The use of cultured stem and/or progenitor cells has the potential to improve the extent of regeneration, and also increases the likelihood that the transplanted tissue will integrate with the surrounding tissue. It could eventually even reduce or eliminate the need for immunosuppressive drugs.
