Tissue engineering is an expanding field that combines the principles of engineering and the life sciences towards the fundamental understanding of structure/function relationships in normal and pathological mammalian tissues, and the development of biological substitutes to restore, maintain, or improve function (1). There are several critical issues that hamper the development of tissue engineered constructs. These include, but may not be limited to: (i) the source and function of cells employed within the constructs; (ii) the biomaterials used to build the constructs; (iii) the ability to scale up production to a medically relevant scale; (iv) the immune acceptance of a construct; (v) the preservation and subsequent off-the-shelf availability of the construct, and (vi) the ability to monitor the function and integrity of the construct in vivo. In this review we will focus on the issue of non-invasive monitoring. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
