This book addresses important biomaterials which are commonly used
to fabricate scaffolds and it describes two major protocols
employed in scaffold fabrication. Tissue engineering or
regenerative medicine aims at restoring ex-novo tissues and organs
whose functionality has been compromised as a consequence of
diseases or traumatic events. The innovative concept underlying
tissue engineering is the use of autologous cells, obtained from a
biopsy of the patient. Cells are seeded on a porous scaffold which
has the role of supporting and guiding cells towards the
development of tissue-like structures as well as providing a
platform for the delivery under controlled condition of growth
factor release, etc. The successful manufacture of scaffolds for
tissue engineering applications is crucial. In this book, these
biomaterials are discussed. The book also covers illustrated
examples, structure and properties of scaffolds, cellular
interactions and drug delivery.
