Tissue Engineering For Craniofacial Reconstruction

Link: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/03/070323171654.htm

Summary: Tissue engineering has promised to be an alternate solution for the reconstruction of lost or damaged organ and tissues.Tissue engineering plans to replenish the damaged tissues by using substitutes that can survive and function during regeneration and eventually grow into the host tissue.

Questions:
What process is being used in the article?Tissue engineering
What is the purpose of genetic engineering in this article? to regenerate or replenish damaged organs or tissues.
List three things you learned from this article in your own words.
I learned that Tissues can be replenished. I learned that damaged organs can be repaired or regenerated by this process. I learned that the scaffold architecture influence the behavior of cells on tissue -engineering constructs.
What impact would the absence of this process have on humanity? Many people would not survive from transplants because the damaged organs and tissues wouldn't function correctly.
