“…Liver impairment can result from exposure to strong toxins like alcohol, substances, medications, hepatotoxic viruses, or even an inadequate diet (e.g., excess salt). To facilitate its regeneration, techniques like cell transplantation (hepatocytes and stem cells) are utilized, and they proliferate, among other methods, within 3D scaffolds, HFMs, or nonwovens/nanofibers [79][80][81][82].…”

Polymers stand out as promising materials extensively employed in biomedicine and biotechnology. Their versatile applications owe much to the field of tissue engineering, which seamlessly integrates materials engineering with medical science. In medicine, biomaterials serve as prototypes for organ development and as implants or scaffolds to facilitate body regeneration. With the growing demand for innovative solutions, synthetic and hybrid polymer materials, such as polyethersulfone, are gaining traction. This article offers a concise characterization of polyethersulfone followed by an exploration of its diverse applications in medical and biotechnological realms. It concludes by summarizing the significant roles of polyethersulfone in advancing both medicine and biotechnology, as outlined in the accompanying table.
