The name is TychoDIGITAL. Better known as "AdGen's Young Prince". Being bold is important on Wikipedia.

Rough Notes:

Good. Try not to put opinion in the article and remember to keep to an encyclopedic style that is accessible. Also, if you're going into the non-traditional stuff, you will need very high quality academic references. BenjaminLaufer (talk) 16:01, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

I plan on giving the article a facelift and help guide it towards a more informative first look at regenerative medicine. Rather than just linking to more specific areas of the field, I believe that the main page should have more information about the field than it currently does. I plan to correct this by using several sources to bring facts about scaffolding, hydrogels, and the future of the industry to the main page. The talk page wants more editors to talk about non-Western medicine and other traditional practices which were proven techniques in the field, so I might look into those too.

Scaffolding

Sample Text:

“The key components of tissue engineering have remained the same since the don of the practice in the 1980s. These include cells, scaffolds, and growth-stimulating signals. Scaffolds are generally made of polymeric biomaterials and serve as structural support for cell attachment and subsequent tissue development. Over the past few decades, four major scaffolding approaches have become prevalent in the field of tissue engineering. ”
