| Abstract | Tissue engineering is a thought-provoking concept made compelling by the need to replace failed, damaged, or defective body parts. Unlike the more mature field of traditional medical-device development (e.g., joint replacement), tissue engineering is young and evolving. This project can thus change the established tissue-engineering paradigm to not only address the development of healthy tissue (associated with healing) but simultaneously address the need to inhibit bacterial colonization (assoc |
