The aim of Journal of Tissue Engineering is to provide a rigorously peer-reviewed and high quality forum for the publication of tissue engineering research and its clinical application. The field of tissue engineering by its very nature is multidisciplinary requiring knowledge and/or understanding of cell biology, biophysics, materials and biomaterials science and clinical applicability and this rationale is directly applicable to this journal.The primary aim as enshrined in the definition of tissue engineering is to restore, maintain and/or improve tissue or organ function and this may be effected by the use of cells in combination with material substrates and also may be coupled with appropriate growth and guidance factors.The journal has broad ranging interests from the fundamentals of stem cells and progenitor cells and their expansion to viable numbers coupled with an understanding of their differentiation, the utilisation of bioreactors for three dimensional culture and studies of phenotypic changes, particularly in stem and progenitor cells, both short and long term, ex vivo and in vivo implantation both in preclinical models and also in clinical trials.

組織工程雜志的宗旨是為組織工程研究及其臨床應用的出版提供一個嚴格的同行評審和高質量的論壇。組織工程領域本質上是多學科的，需要細胞生物學、生物物理學、材料和生物材料科學以及臨床應用的知識和/或理解，這一基本原理直接適用于本雜志。組織工程的主要目的是恢復、維持和/或改善組織或器官的功能，這可能受到細胞與物質基質結合使用的影響，也可能結合適當的生長和指導因素。該雜志具有廣泛的興趣，從干細胞和祖細胞的基本原理及其擴展到活的數量，再加上對其分化的理解，利用生物反應器進行三維培養和表型變化的研究，特別是在干細胞和祖細胞中，短期和長期，體內和體外植入，臨床前模型和臨床試驗。
