This database is no longer actively updated. As of 2007, its content has been combined with Agricultural and Environmental Biotechnology Abstracts and Medical and Pharmaceutical Biotechnology Abstracts into a single database Biotechnology Research Abstracts in the Biotechnology and Bioengineering Abstracts database cluster.
Bioengineering deals with medical and biological applications of engineering knowledge. From this field come practical advances in areas such as instrumentation, imaging, and biomechanics, with specific benefit relevance to professionals in numerous medical, allied health, and technical specialties. Encompassing a wide range of disciplines, BioEngineering Abstracts provides access to international research on all aspects of biochemical and microbial technology as applied to bioengineering. Information is drawn from journals, conference proceeding, directories, and other sources - including Engineering Information's comprehensive engineering database. Biochemical engineers, fermentation technologists, enzyme technologists, microbiologists, environmental engineers, food processing specialists, and other professionals who work within these areas can turn to this database for up-to-date perspectives on new developments and applications in their fields.

Abstract
As the prevalence of vascular disease has continued to expand, the need for a suitable arterial replacement has prompted researchers to look beyond synthetic and autologous grafts toward the field of tissue engineering. Advances in vascular tissue engineering have utilized both mesenchymal and hematopoietic stem cells as a cell source in an attempt to create a fully engineered small-diameter graft. Stem cells offer enormous potential as a cell source because of their proliferative and growth potential, and the application of stem cell technology has far-reaching implications for future applications. The innovative use of stem cells for vascular tissue engineering has opened new possibilities for a fully engineered blood vessel. The purpose of this review is to summarize the current perspective on the use of stem cells for vascular tissue engineering. It focuses principally on the classes of stem cells used, techniques for differentiation scaffolding technology, and the successes and failures of models.
