Tissue Engineering & Regenerative Medicine

Scaffolds

Scaffolds are one among the three most vital essentials constituting the essential concept of Regenerative Medicine, and are included within the core technology of Regenerative Medicine. Every day thousands of surgical procedures are done to exchange or repair tissue that has been damaged through disease or trauma. The developing field of tissue engineering (TE) aims to regenerate damaged tissues by combining cells from the body with highly porous scaffold biomaterials, which act as templates for tissue regeneration, to guide the growth of new tissue. Scaffolds features a prominent role in tissue regeneration the designs, fabrication, 3D models, surface ligands and molecular architecture, nanoparticle-cell interactions and porous of the scaffolds are been utilized in the field in attempts to regenerate different tissues and organs within the body. The world somatic cell market was approximately 2.715 billion dollars in 2010, and with a rate of growth of 16.8% annually, a market of 6.877 billion dollars are going to be formed in 2016. From 2017, the expected annual growth rate is 10.6%, which would expand the market to 11.38 billion dollars by 2022.
