Biomaterials For Tissue Engineering

Biomaterials function an integral component of tissue engineering. They are designed to supply architectural framework like native extracellular matrix so as to encourage cell growth and eventual tissue regeneration. Bone and cartilage represent two distinct tissues with varying compositional and mechanical properties. Despite these differences, both meet at the osteochondral interface. This article presents an summary of current biomaterials employed in bone and cartilage applications, discusses some design considerations, and alludes to future prospects within this field of research. Tissue engineering is an interdisciplinary field dedicated to the regeneration of functional human tissues. Despite the body having intrinsic self-healing properties, the extent of repair varies amongst different tissues, and will even be undermined by the severity of injury or disease.48 The classic paradigm relies on a combination of biomaterial scaffolds, cells, and bioactive molecules to orchestrate tissue formation and integration within the host environment.
