The tissue engineering concept is based on cells, typically taken from a patient, multiplied in number, and seeded on a scaffold. The main function of a tissue engineered-scaffold has to fulfill mimicking the ECM characteristics and properties in native tissues. Briefly, the scaffold is a 3D substrate and serves as a template for tissue regeneration. Model scaffolds should have some features to accomplish the fundamental demands of a target tissue, namely having an appropriate surface chemistry and microstructure to ease the cellular attachment, proliferation, differentiation, and obtaining...
