Recombinant Proteins: Hopes for Tissue Engineering

issue engineering is a developing field in medical and surgical therapeutics aiming at fabrication of biointeractive substitutes for functional restoration of lost tissues and impaired organs. Using three basic elements of cells, scaffolds and signaling molecules and depending on the complexity of the target tissue, different design methods and technologies may be applied to the engineering of a substitute. The three basic elements are known as the tissue engineering triad and could be inter-related by protein molecules. The proteins not only contribute to the structure of many signaling molecules and affect the cellular behavior, but also could be used for fabrication of scaffolds. Therefore, proteins constitute a group of key molecules that should be dealt with for many tissue engineering purposes. However
