Bio-electrosprays: The development of a promising tool for regenerative and therapeutic medicine

Abstract

Regenerative and therapeutic medicine are two fields of research to which engineering sciences are increasingly contributing. One such case in which physical sciences have been greatly involved is in the generation of tissues by directly processing living cells. In this article we focus on the current status of cell or tissue engineering approaches by way of jets, particularly focusing on bio-electrosprays. © 2007 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
