Airway system is a vital part of the living being body. Trachea is the upper respiratory portion that connects nostril and lungs and has multiple functions such as breathing and entrapment of dust/pathogen particles. Tracheal reconstruction by artificial prosthesis, stents, and grafts are performed clinically for the repairing of damaged tissue. Although these (above-mentioned) methods repair the damaged parts, they have limited applicability like small area wounds and lack of functional tissue regeneration. Tissue engineering helps to overcome the abovementioned problems by modifying the traditional used stents and grafts, not only repair but also regenerate the damaged area to functional tissue. Bioengineered tracheal replacements are biocompatible, nontoxic, porous, and having 3D biomimetic ultrastructure with good mechanical strength, which results in faster and better tissue regeneration. Till date, the bioengineered tracheal replacements studies have been going on preclinical and clinical levels. Besides that, still many researchers are working at advance level to make extracellular matrix-based acellular, 3D printed, cell-seeded grafts including living cells to overcome the demand of tissue or organ and making the ready to use tracheal reconstructs for clinical application. Thus, in this review, we summarized the tracheal tissue engineering aspects and their outcomes. K E Y W O R D S biocompatible, chondrocytes, ECM, in vivo, tissue engineering, trachea
