This article is written from a beginner's perspective to elucidate the concept of tissue engineering through its applications. It elaborates on the role of tissue engineering in burn skin treatment and drug delivery systems for cancer therapy. The first part of this article discusses the challenges and current issues related to burn injuries and the engineered techniques for their treatment. It highlights the need for scaffolds in skin tissue regeneration, along with the materials and methods used for treatment. The second part focuses on drug delivery mechanisms in tissue engineering, specifically in cancer treatments, explaining the carrier and release mechanisms of drugs targeting cancer cells. Most information was gathered from scientific articles, following the selection of focused applications. The basics of these applications were studied and explained in layman's terms, forming the foundation for an application-based learning experience. Personal reflections and comments are synthesized in the conclusion, making it accessible for those who want to learn about tissue engineering at a glance.
