Growth factor release from tissue engineering scaffolds
Abstract
Synthetic scaffold materials are used in tissue engineering for a variety of applications, including physical supports for the creation of functional tissues, protective gels to aid in wound healing and to encapsulate cells for localized hormone-delivery therapies. In order to encourage successful tissue growth, these scaffold materials must incorporate vital growth factors that are released to control their development. A major challenge lies in the requirement for these growth factor delivery mechanisms to mimic the in-vivo release profiles of factors produced during natural tissue morphogenesis or repair. This review highlights some of the major strategies for creating scaffold constructs reported thus far, along with the approaches taken to incorporate growth factors within the materials and the benefits of combining tissue engineering and drug delivery expertise.

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.
