TLDR
An overview of the different types of scaffolds with their material properties is discussed and the fabrication technologies for tissue engineering scaffolds, including the basic and conventional techniques to the more recent ones, are tabulated.Abstract:
Current strategies of regenerative medicine are focused on the restoration of pathologically altered tissue architectures by transplantation of cells in combination with supportive scaffolds and biomolecules. In recent years, considerable interest has been given to biologically active scaffolds which are based on similar analogs of the extracellular matrix that have induced synthesis of tissues and organs. To restore function or regenerate tissue, a scaffold is necessary that will act as a temporary matrix for cell proliferation and extracellular matrix deposition, with subsequent ingrowth until the tissues are totally restored or regenerated. Scaffolds have been used for tissue engineering such as bone, cartilage, ligament, skin, vascular tissues, neural tissues, and skeletal muscle and as vehicle for the controlled delivery of drugs, proteins, and DNA. Various technologies come together to construct porous scaffolds to regenerate the tissues/organs and also for controlled and targeted release of bioactive agents in tissue engineering applications. In this paper, an overview of the different types of scaffolds with their material properties is discussed. The fabrication technologies for tissue engineering scaffolds, including the basic and conventional techniques to the more recent ones, are tabulated.read more

TL;DR: The concentration of radiation-induced free radicals was higher in RG 503H (both P and Ms) and they were more stable than the free radicals species observed in the case of polymer RG 503, which was not possible to evaluate because this polymer resulted to be unstable even in the regular storage conditions without being irradiated.

Novel polymer-synthesized ceramic composite-based system for bone repair: an in vitro evaluation.
TL;DR: A novel approach to forming a polymer/ceramic composite has been developed that combines degradable poly(lactide-co-glycolide) microspheres and a poorly crystalline calcium phosphate that is synthesized within the microsphere, which are then fused together to form a porous three-dimensional scaffold for bone repair.
