AbstractWe have recently proposed a novel strategy named photosynthetic tissue engineering to overcome clinical problems due to hypoxia. The idea is based on transgenic photoautotrophic microorganisms that produce oxygen and at the same time secrete functional recombinant proteins into tissues. In particular, the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has successfully been used to boost the regenerative potential of several biomedical devices, such as dermal scaffolds and surgical sutures.
