Abstract:
As regeneration scaffolds or templates in tissue engineering, polymeric materials play key roles in inducing tissue regeneration, and mediating cell growth and differentiation, i.e. functioning as artificial extracellular matrix. The polymeric materials including biological derived biopolymers and synthetic polymers, which are usually employed in tissue engineering, are reviewed in this paper.
