Advances in polymeric biomaterials allow the emergent of the field of Regenerative Medicine which gave hope to many patients around the world. The shortage in organ donation, the immunoreactions to allotransplants, and the high cost associated with transplantation are some reasons for the growing interest in Tissue Engineering. This work focuses on the material selection and processing which are keys for a successful design of any tissue engineered structure. Poly(L-lysine) (PLL) was selected in this work as a base for developing scaffolds due to its biocombatability and bioabsorbability....
