Abstract
Tissue engineering, also called “regenerative medicine”, refers to attempt to create functional human tissue from cells in laboratory. This is a field that uses living cells, biocompatible materials, suitable biochemical and physical factors and their combinations, to create tissue-like structures.. To date, no tissue engineered skeletal muscle implants have been developed for clinical use, but it may represent a valid alternative to treat volumetric muscle loss in the near future. Herein, we reviewed the literature and showed different techniques to produce synthetic tissues with the same architectural, structural and functional properties of native tissues.
