Abstract:Even though remarkable advances in biomedical engineering have been made in recent decades, fabricated biomaterials as artificial tissue constructs still have room for improvement and need to offer several characteristics simultaneously. Specifically, engineered biomaterials should possess mechanical, biochemical, and topographical gradients, a 3D network, porosity, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and injectability as well as the ability to deliver drugs locally, to mimic the extracellular matrix environme… Show more
