TL;DR: The surface and bulk modification of biomaterials with cell recognition molecules to design biomimetic materials for tissue engineering and recent advances for the development of biomimetics materials in bone, nerve, and cardiovascular tissue engineering are summarized.

TL;DR: A list of growth factors implicated in repair and regeneration of bone and cartilage by addressing their biological effects at different stages of the healing process is described and general requirements for localized growth factor delivery carriers are discussed.

TL;DR: An overview of some biological features of the natural ECM is presented and a variety of original engineering methods that are currently used to produce synthetic polymer‐based scaffolds in pre‐fabricated form before implantation, to modify their surfaces with biochemical ligands, to incorporate growth factors, and to control their nano‐ and microscale geometry to create biomimetic scaffolds are discussed.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that polydopamine coating facilitates highly efficient, simple immobilization of neurotrophic growth factors and adhesion peptides onto polymer substrates, and can provide a versatile platform technology for developing chemically defined, safe, functional substrates and scaffolds for therapeutic applications of human NSCs.

TL;DR: Results indicate that electrically conductive substrates can modulate the induction of myoblasts into myotube formation without additional electrical stimulation, suggesting that these fibers may have potential as a temporary substrate for skeletal tissue engineering.
