| Abstract Scope |
The necessity for multiple surgeries is decreased by tissue engineering techniques, which also lessen donor site morbidity in graft procedures. Biodegradable scaffolds are created to contain cells; as new tissue develops; it gradually replaces the biodegradable scaffold to restore full bodily function. Due to their resemblance to extracellular matrices, high biocompatibility and biodegradability, natural and synthetic polymeric materials have been used extensively in bone tissue engineering. To adapt polymeric materials to the unique needs of bone regeneration, a range of approaches have been used to modify their characteristics. This review focused on current research on collagen and synthetic polymer-based scaffolds for tissue bioengineering and bone regeneration, such as polycaprolactone, poly(glycolic acid), poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid), and poly(lactic-acid-glycolic acid) (PCL). If we can better manage the interface between the material and the surrounding bone tissue, the next generation of biodegradable materials may benefit from our understanding of how cells interact with materials. |
