Such technologies may include stem cells\, growth factors\, drugs\, biomaterials and devices\, alone or in combination. “Tissue Engineering” has been commonly used to describe the processes of development of these technologies in support of Regenerative Medicine applications. While progress has been made in the engineering of skin\, cornea\, cartilage\, bone and blood vessels\, more complex tissues such as kidney\, heart\, brain and liver remain to be conquered. To a great extent\, commercialization challenges limit progress in the field. These include difficulty in meeting FDA regulatory requirements of often complex combinations of novel technologies that have never before been seen by the Agency.
