Abstract
Craniofacial surgery is an important conduit for tissue-engineering applications. As interdisciplinary collaborations improve, we can expect to see remarkable progress in de novo tissue synthesis, replacement, and repair. Ultimately, we may one day find that gene-modified cell-based tissue-engineering strategies will succeed today's reconstructive strategies. In this review, we highlight the major gene- and cell-based preclinical tools and techniques that are currently being developed to solve common craniofacial problems.Entities:
