Tissue Engineering of Esophagus

Abstract: The incidences of esophageal diseases like atresia, tracheoesophageal fistula, esophagitis, and even carcinoma rise rapidly worldwide. Traditional therapies such as surgery, chemotherapy, or/and radiotherapy, etc. always meet problems, leading to deterioration of the patients' life quality and sometimes the reduced survival rate. Tissue-engineered esophagus, a novel biologic substitute with tissue architecture and bio-functions, has been believed to be a promising replacement in the future. However, the resear… Show more

“…Tissue regeneration technologically combines arti cial scaffolds, cell-matrix and growth factors (GFs) to provide double or triple matrix products that can be applied in tissue repair and remodeling. It has been con rmed by Zhu et al that these scaffolds can provide functional esophagus substitution well enough to support the growth of pig esophageal cells such as epithelial, broblast and muscle cells 37 . The effects of growth factors (GFs) on wound healing have been the subject of many studies 9,19,17 .…”
