Investigators at University of Pittsburgh, Department of Bioengineering have published new data on tissue engineering

Data detailed in 'Novel synthesis strategies for natural polymer and composite biomaterials as potential scaffolds for tissue engineering' have been presented. "Recent developments in tissue engineering approaches frequently revolve around the use of three-dimensional scaffolds to function as the template for cellular activities to repair, rebuild and regenerate damaged or lost tissues. While there are several biomaterials to select as three-dimensional scaffolds, it is generally agreed that a biomaterial to be used in tissue engineering needs to possess certain material characteristics such as biocompatibility, suitable surface chemistry, interconnected porosity, desired mechanical...
