Abstract
This chapter aims to expand the reader's knowledge on the human trachea, problems that commonly arise within the windpipe, and correctional methods for these issues, including tissue-engineered solutions. Cell derivation is covered to give examples of what could potentially work successfully and the advantages and disadvantages of specific derivations. A variety of experimental scaffold construction techniques will be discussed in detail, allowing the reader to obtain an understanding of the intricate methods required to make tissue-engineered tracheal tissue. This chapter demonstrates the extensive parameters required to make successful tissue with the ability to withstand the stresses of native tissue, while creating an environment for cells to grow and thrive on.
