Biomimetic scaffolds for tissue engineering
The 26th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2005A major goal of tissue engineering is to generate living cellular constructs with 3-D, tissue-like organization of cells and matrices. The generation of mechanical forces by the cellular cytoskeleton plays a critical role in the organization of matrix and of cellular colonies.

Scaffolds and Tissue Decellularization
2020This chapter discusses different types of scaffold material that can provide structural support for cells to attach, survive, and grow into a 3D tissue. These scaffold materials can include molecules that exist biologically as well as synthetic ones, yielding scaffolds with a wide range of viscoelastic properties.

Scaffolds for Tissue Engineering
2012The aim of tissue engineering is to develop cell, construct, and living system technologies to restore the structures and functions of damaged or degenerated tissues. Surgical strategies that have evolved to deal with tissue loss include organ transplantation from one individual to another, tissue transfer from a healthy site to an affected site in the
