Abstract
There is great clinical need for pulmonary tissue engineering because of the increase in lung diseases and the limited availability of transplants. Several traditional tissue engineering approaches, combining scaffolds and cells, have been utilized to engineer the trachea and main stem bronchi. Newer techniques of decellularized scaffolds, three‐dimensional printing, microfluidics, and cellular therapies show promise for regenerating the complex structure of the lung. This chapter reviews the limited successes in the field thus far, and points the way to promising future directions for tissue engineering of the lungs.
