title: [Tissue engineering].
abstract: Tissue engineering is a fast developing multidisciplinary field. Both from a medical and social point of view, there is great need to safe tissues and organs to overcome the shortage of donor organs and to reduce the health care cost. At the same time, progress made in the field of molecular sciences as well as in biomaterials and chemical engineering, offers great possibilities to manipulate cells, growth factors and carrier materials in such a way that growth of tissues can be achieved.
