Polymers, Biomanufacturing and Regenerative Medicine

Ver documento

Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:Polymers have a major contribution to make in the field of regenerative medicine in order to develop and deploy biological substitutes that restore, maintain, or improve tissue function. There are realistic opportunities to create tissues using an engineered extracellular matrix or scaffold and biologically active molecules. A number of different approaches to preparing scaffolds have been explored and the requirements for materials and personalization identified. We review the methodologies and materials available and report on recent work at the CDRSP to integrate and provide control of the processes to provide a realistic biomanufacturing process.
