Application of Biomimetic Scaffolds for Tissue Engineering

Abstract

Volume 18 • Issue 2 • 1000e103 J Biomim Biomater Tissue Eng ISSN: 1662-100X Biochem, an open access journal Tissue engineering is crucially important to help restore or enhance tissue and organ functions by employing a combination of cells, biological scaffolds and growth factors. A proper microenvironment is critical to guiding cells to assemble de novo functional tissues following their in vivo developmental processes. A biomimetic scaffold is key to construction of such a microenvironment, which should not only provide the temporary support for cells, but also elucidate proper cellmatrix interactions.
