Tissue Engineering Now Coming Into Its Own As A Scientific Field
Ricki Lewis | Jul 23, 1995 | 7 min read
Field Author: Ricki Lewis Sidebars: A Tissue Survey Over the past decade, tissue engineering has evolved from a hodgepodge of different disciplines to a biotechnology field in its own right. A marriage of chemical engineering and cell biology, with input from genetics and surgery, tissue engineering combines living cells, biochemicals, and synthetic materials into implants that can function in the human body. Some 30 companies and dozens of academic laboratories are pursuing tissue engineeri

Alfred Pühler Forty years (and counting) at the forefront of microbiology research have not dimmed Pühler's infectious enthusiasm or voracious work ethic. By Cormac Sheridan Alfred Pühler has been a powerhouse in German microbiological research—initially in the area of plant-microbe interactions and later in industrial microbiology—over the past four decades. But he actually started out in nuclear physics, obtain
