Abstract Aim Despite several decades of research in tissue engineering, reconstructing a 3D human-sized ear that can stand the test of time has remained a challenge. Autologous cartilage reconstruction remains the main treatment choice despite the associated morbidity. Progress in the field has been made and several studies have used tissue-engineered implants in immunocompetent animals with promising results. Method This study critically reviews and assesses the characteristics that make auricular reconstruction so challenging and how far research has come in addressing the following: mechanical properties; vascularisation; immune response; cell sourcing; surgical attachments; allografts; and cost. Results The question is whether tissue engineering will realistically replace autologous cartilage reconstruction in the short-term, or will advances in other areas, outlined in this article, manage to provide suitable and aesthetically accurate scaffolds. Conclusions Advances in tissue engineering are slowly progressing and utilise advances in both biomaterial design and 3D bioprinting to try and address the challenges of auricular reconstruction. Tissue engineering is still a promising solution to auricular reconstruction but still requires further research before becoming a reality.

Cellular biomechanics is an area of study that is receiving more attention as time progresses. The response of cells to their mechanical environment, including biomechanical stimuli, has far-reaching ramifications for the area of tissue engineering, especially for tissues designed to withstand mechanical loading (e.g. bone, cartilage, tendons and ligaments, and arteries). The effects of mechanical stimuli on cells are only recently being examined, and the potential role of mechanical stimuli in tissue engineering is still one that is largely ignored in the design of tissue engineering scaffolds. The relationship of mechanical properties of scaffolds or of mechanical stimuli to cell behavior is complex, but vital to the development of the field. Also, understanding the complex interplay of form and environment on cells involves an increase in our knowledge of how cells react to their total environment including mechanical stimuli and material properties. In order to improve tissue engineering outcomes, a nexus must be developed between the mechanical, biochemical, and biological studies of cellular behavior, in the context of extremely complex systems.
