  • Bengaluru: Experts believe that tissue engineering is emerging as a revolutionary technology in the fight against cancer, offering new hope for more effective, affordable, and less toxic treatments. By enabling precise tissue regeneration and modification,

The article from MSN discusses the revolutionary potential of tissue engineering in cancer treatment. It highlights how tissue engineering, which involves creating functional tissues from cells, scaffolds, and biologically active molecules, is being explored as a new frontier in oncology. This approach aims to regenerate damaged tissues caused by cancer or its treatments, like chemotherapy and radiation, which often have severe side effects. Researchers are focusing on developing biocompatible scaffolds that can support cell growth and differentiation, potentially allowing for the replacement of tumor-removed tissues or even engineering tissues to better respond to cancer therapies. The article also touches upon the ethical considerations, the need for interdisciplinary collaboration, and the challenges like immune rejection and vascularization that need to be overcome for tissue engineering to become a standard cancer treatment. This innovative method not only promises to repair and regenerate but also to enhance the body's ability to fight cancer, offering hope for more personalized and less invasive treatments in the future.
