The cell microenvironment has emerged as a key determinant of cell behavior and function
in development, physiology, and pathophysiology. The extracellular matrix (ECM) within the …

This article summarizes the recent progress in the design and synthesis of hydrogels as
tissue-engineering scaffolds. Hydrogels are attractive scaffolding materials owing to their …

Since RGD peptides (R: arginine; G: glycine; D: aspartic acid) have been found to promote
cell adhesion in 1984 (Cell attachment activity of fibronectin can be duplicated by small …

The development of biomaterials for tissue engineering applications has recently focused on
the design of biomimetic materials that are capable of eliciting specific cellular responses …

▪ Abstract Nerve regeneration is a complex biological phenomenon. In the peripheral
nervous system, nerves can regenerate on their own if injuries are small. Larger injuries …

Bioprinting is rapidly being adopted as a major method for fabricating tissue engineering
constructs. Through the precise deposition of cell-and bioactive molecule-laden materials …

Decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) is widely used in regenerative medicine as a
scaffold material due to its unique biological activity and good biocompatibility. Hydrogel is a …

Injectable hydrogels have become an incredibly prolific area of research in the field of tissue
engineering and regenerative medicine, because of their high water content, mechanical …

Biomaterials are likely to have an increasingly important role in the treatment of nervous
system disorders. Recently developed biomaterials can enable and augment the targeted …

Currently there are no potential curative therapies that can improve the central nervous
system (CNS) regeneration after traumatic injuries or diseases. Indeed, the regeneration of …
