Regenerative strategies such as stem cell-based therapies and tissue engineering
applications are being developed with the aim to replace, remodel, regenerate or support …

Tissue engineering is essentially a technique for imitating nature. Natural tissues are made
up of three parts: extracellular matrix (ECM), signaling systems, and cells. Therefore …

In tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, a biomaterial provides mechanical support
and biochemical signals to encourage cell attachment and modulate cell behaviour …

Biomaterials have played an increasingly prominent role in the success of biomedical
devices and in the development of tissue engineering, which seeks to unlock the …

Importance of the field: Biomimetic scaffolds and substrates of extracellular matrices (ECMs)
play an important role in the regulation of cell function and in the guidance of new tissue …

Cell-derived extracellular matrices (CD-ECMs) captured increasing attention since the first
studies in the 1980s. The biological resemblance of CD-ECMs to their in vivo counterparts …

Extracellular matrix (ECM) derived components are emerging sources for the engineering of
biomaterials that are capable of inducing desirable cell-specific responses. This review …

Decellularized scaffolds are promising clinically translational biomaterials that can be
applied to direct cell responses and promote tissue regeneration. Bioscaffolds derived from …

The increasing demand for organ replacements in a growing world with an aging population
as well as the loss of tissues and organs due to congenital defects, trauma and diseases has …

The use of drug delivery vehicles to improve the efficacy of drugs and to target their action at
effective concentrations over desired periods of time has been an active topic of research …
