Abstract
By synthesizing new polymeric materials and combining them with growth factors or cells, new tissues and organs can potentially be created for use in drug testing-thereby potentially reducing animal and human testing- and to treat disease. Examples discussed include blood vessels, heart muscle, spinal cord repair, artifi cial skin, cartilage, and pancreas.
