Organ Advances of tissue engineering
Bladder First successful tissue engineered bladder transplanted by Atala et al. [68]
Urethra First successful bioengineered urethra by Atala [127]
Blood vessels First implantation of bioengineered vessel (pulmonary artery) by Shinoka et al. [128]
Heart Ott et al. [135] constructed novel heart in vitro using decellularized cadaveric hearts seeded with cells
Bone Marcacci et al. [147] used 100% hydroxyapatite porous ceramic scaffolds seeded with MSCs to treat fracture nonunion in patients with good outcome. Horwitz et al. [150] used gene marked donor marrow-derived MSCc to treat 6 children with severe osteogenesis imperfecta with good results in 5 patients.
Cartilage tissues Yoshikawa et al. [155] reported two case studies of intervertebral disc regeneration therapy using marrow mesenchymal cell transplantation with good results after 2 years follow up. Autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) were used for treatment of knee articular cartilage defects with numerous successful case report studies [152,153]
Liver Tissue engineering of liver organoids in vitro by groups of Uygun et al. [171], and Baptista et al. [172]
