title: Gene expression: a review of clinical applications in otorhinolaryngology-head and neck surgery.
abstract: Tissue engineering is a multidisciplinary area of research aimed at regeneration of tissues and restoration of function of organs through implantation of cells/tissues grown outside the body or stimulating cells to grow into implanted matrix. In this short review, we aim to examine current techniques in gene expression analysis and their relevant clinical applications to the field of otorhinolaryngology-head and neck surgery.
