| Abstract |
Tissue engineering is an interdisciplinary field that involves cell biology, materials science, reactor engineering, and clinical research with the goal of creating new tissues and organs. Significant advances in tissue engineering have been made through improving singular aspects within the overall approach, e.g., materials design, reactor design, or cell source. Increasingly, however, advances are being made by combining several areas to create environments which promote the development of new tissues whose properties more closely match their native counterparts. This approach does not seek to reproduce all the complexities involved in development, but rather seeks to promote an environment which permits the native capacity of cells to integrate, differentiate, and develop new tissues. Progenitors and stem cells will play a critical role in understanding and developing new engineered tissues as part of this approach. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 18 December 2020.
All research outputs
#8,022,830
of 24,119,703 outputs
Outputs from Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology
#2,748
of 8,034 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#19,768
of 56,138 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology
#28
of 47 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,119,703 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 8,034 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.3. This one is in the 36th percentile – i.e., 36% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 56,138 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 47 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
