Computer-aided tissue engineering (CATE) enables many novel approaches in modelling, design and fabrication of complex tissue substitutes with enhanced functionality and improved cell-matrix interactions. Central to CATE is its bio-tissue informatics model that represents tissue biological, biomechanical and biochemical information that serves as a central repository to interface design, simulation and tissue fabrication. The present paper discusses the application of a CATE approach to the biomimetic design of bone tissue scaffold. A general CATE-based process for biomimetic modelling, anatomic reconstruction, computer-assisted-design of tissue scaffold, quantitative-computed-tomography characterization, finite element analysis and freeform extruding deposition for fabrication of scaffold is presented.

Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting, an additive manufacturing technology, fabricates biomimetic tissues that possess natural structure and function. It involves precise deposition of bioinks, including cells, and bioactive factors, on basis of computer-aided 3D models. Articular cartilage injurie, a common orthopedic issue.

The preoperative fabrication of well-contoured, computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM), custom healing abutments is essential for guiding soft tissue healing and saving chairside time. This dental technique involves a fully digital workflow to fabricate a CAD-CAM custom healing abutment that relies on preoperative digital implant planning. The healing abutment is designed with an optimal emergence profile that can predictably direct the anatomy of the peri-implant mucosa.

Objective: Buccal myomucosal flap procedures have become a critical tool in the armamentarium of the cleft surgeon. Mastering this technique is complex and providing sufficient training opportunities presents significant challenges. Our study details the design, development, and evaluation of a low-cost, high-fidelity buccal myomucosal flap surgical simulator.

Biopsy is considered the gold standard for diagnosing brain tumors, but its invasive nature can pose risks to patients. Additionally, tissue analysis can be cumbersome and inconsistent among observers. This research aims to develop a cost-effective, non-invasive, MRI-based computer-aided diagnosis tool that can reliably, accurately and swiftly identify brain tumor grades.

Spontaneous abortion, commonly known as miscarriage, is a significant concern during early pregnancy. Histopathological examination of tissue samples is a widely used method to diagnose and classify tissue phenotypes found in products of conception (POC) after spontaneous abortion. Histopathological examination is subjective and dependent on the skill and experience of the examiner.
