15C12 Building Drug Delivery into Tissue Engineering
OverviewTraditionally, tissue engineering has involved the development of new materials that encourage cell infiltration and proliferation. New opportunities exist to also confer therapeutic properties on engineered tissues by the controlled, targeted release of drugs. Applications of drug delivery systems in tissue engineering include wound healing, antinflammatory treatment near implants, and antitumor therapies.
