In this chapter, we thoroughly review the current developments and
challenges in the field of tissue engineering of normal and breast cancer cells. We also
briefly describe the current advances in cell culture techniques and common
biomaterials, which are useful in the field of tissue engineering. Further, the need for a
new microencapsulation technology of cells utilizing the microfluidic method is
illustrated. Moreover, the most recent applications of cell-laden microcapsules in tissue
engineering are summarized. Lastly, the chapter is concluded with an outline of the
future prospective.
