Regenerative medicine and specifically tissue engineering is a multi-disciplinary field aimed towards to repair of damaged or degenerating

tissues through the combination of specialised materials, cells and growth factors which will generate a complete and functional new tissue

or organ.

The field is complex (at least 10 different scientific and/or clinical disciplines need), expensive (1.7 billion euros from concept to market

including all failed/cancelled approaches and post marketing approval),  long (between 11 and 13 years from concept to product on market) and

 fraught with failed or cancelled projects (only 1 in 10 000 ideas makes it from concept to market).

Beneath we highlight some of the best web resources in which you can find more detailed information about this exciting and cutting edge

field, which is in the process of revolutionising health care.
