Welcome to the new Journal of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine!It is, believe me, with great pleasure and some emotion that I write these words.It has been a long time since I, with some colleagues and collaborators, recognized the need for having a strong new journal in the field of tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, stem cells and biomedical materials.The first discussions on this took place, if I remember it well, in 2002.When we applied to create the European Network of Excellence (NoE) on Tissue Engineering -EXPERTISSUES (http://www.expertissues.org)-we included as one of the main goals and deliverables the creation of a new international journal in the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.The NoE was funded, in a very competitive selection process, by the Sixth Framework program (FP6) of the European Commission (EC), being the only European network of excellence in the field of tissue engineering.We all immediately agreed that a new journal, in this very competitive and rapidly evolving area, would need a main publishing house supporting it.The EXPERTISSUES project started in October 2004.
