Trends in tissue engineering research.
For more than a decade, Tissue Engineering has been devoted to the reporting and discussion of scientific advances in the interdisciplinary field of tissue engineering. In this study, 779 original articles published in the journal since its inception were analyzed and classified according to different attributes, such as focus of research and tissue of interest, to reveal trends in tissue engineering research. In addition, the use of different biomaterials, scaffold architectures, surface and bulk modification agents, cells, differentiation factors, gene delivery vectors, and animal models was examined. The results of this survey show interesting trends over time and by continental origin.
