What Challenges Exist in Using Tissue Engineering for Cancer?
Despite its potential, several challenges exist:
Complexity of the Tumor Microenvironment: Replicating the intricate and dynamic nature of the tumor microenvironment remains difficult. Scalability: Producing tissue-engineered models at a scale large enough for widespread drug testing or clinical application can be challenging. Integration with Host Tissue: Ensuring that the engineered tissue integrates well with the patient's native tissue, particularly in reconstructive surgery, is complex and requires further research.
