ABSTRACT

This paper attempts to bring the view from mechanical engineering from complex industrial processes to tissue engineering. With the intention of bringing this contribution to those involved in tissue engineering, this study sought to be meticulous and to present the key points that can provide significant results. Among one of the contributions is the discussion on the subject, from an engineering point of view, and suggestions such as the generation of engineering diagrams, mapping and detailing each part of the study of the human body. And these engineering diagrams identified by code I.D. each component of the tissues call a datasheet. In this multidisciplinary document with the maximum information and characterization of each component of human tissues, all these information can be used to feed machines and better understand the compounds of the human body in near future. Providing a complete documentation and a nanotopography mapping of the tissues with nanotechnological information and dimensions to the tissues, it is not just a matter of automating tissue engineering, but moreover, understanding the entire biological process system globally. Just as it is done in engineering diagrams of process industries, in analytical engineering, but focused in bioartificial cellular matrix. With this local and global comprehension in tissues, new steps for the field and new challenges can be taken.
