Bioengineering in medicine - a review

Abstract

Bioengineering in medicine is a field that connects engineering, biology, and medicine in order to provide better therapeutic and regenerative solutions. Stem cells, biomaterials, and 3D bioprinting play a crucial role in this field. In this paper, regenerative medicine is highlighted as a transformative approach for restoring and replacing damaged tissues. In addition, advances in organ bioengineering and transplantation are discussed as a solution for the global shortage of donor organs. Primary focus was given to artificial blood vessels, their design, fabrication techniques, and current challenges such as thrombosis, biocompatibility, and long-term patency. This paper explores the broad application of bioengineering in medicine, including tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, nanotechnology, and organ biotechnology. Future development in bioengineering in medicine will be based on multidisciplinary collaboration and integration of different cells and materials to improve healthcare delivery and create a long-lasting biological replacement.
