DESCRIPTION:For the author there are three major challenges in
  Tissue Engineering (TE)\, namely to\ndevelop stra
 tegies which are translatable\, materials which ar
 e responsive and methods\nwhich are predictive. Ne
 w strategies in TE depend on a concerted interdisc
 iplinary effort\nbetween the exact and engineering
  sciences on the one side and the life sciences\, 
 including\nmedicine on the other. A further major 
 task of the life sciences is to understand the so-
 called\n„regenerative niche“\, which differs from 
 tissue to tissue. Great progress made in stem cell
 \nbiology has opened up new vistas on the possibil
 ity to target a regenerative niche. However\,\nwe 
 still need to understand regeneration in hostile e
 nvironments\, as are present following\ntrauma and
  in cancer and multimorbidity. This will be discus
 sed using examples from the\nauthor’s own research
 \, which involves coculture systems consisting of 
 relevant human cells\nwith and without complex 3D 
 biomaterial scaffolds. Lessons learned from so-cal
 led „cellular\ncrosstalk“ and the relevance of the
  latter for TE will be discussed.\nSupported by th
 e EU Institute of Excellence\, EXPERTISSUES\, and 
 research grants from\nthe German Research Foundati
 on (DFG) and the BMBF/DAAD German-Chinese\nCoopera
 tion in Regenerative Medicine.
