Polymer Scaffolds for Biomaterials Applications
Abstract
Biomaterials have been used extensively in medical, personal care, and food applications, with many similar polymers being used across disciplines. This Perspective will emphasize polymers used in medicine and specifically those designed as scaffolds for use in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. The areas of active research in tissue engineering include: biomaterials design—incorporation of the appropriate chemical, physical, and mechanical/structural properties to guide cell and tissue organization; cell/scaffold integration—inclusion into the biomaterial scaffold of either cells for transplantation or biomolecules to attract cells, including stem cells, from the host to promote integration with the tissue after implantation; and biomolecule delivery—inclusion of growth factors and/or small molecules or peptides that promote cell survival and tissue regeneration. While a significant and growing area of regenerative medicine involves the stimulation of endogenous stem cells, this Perspective will emphasize polymer scaffolds used for delivery of cells and biomolecules. The challenges and solutions pursued in designing polymeric biomaterial scaffolds with the appropriate 3-dimensional structure will be explored.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
