Porous Scaffold Fabrication and Surface Modification for Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine

Prof. Chen Guoping, Biomaterials Center, National Institute for Materials Science, Tsukuba, Japan

Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine have been rapidly developed in recent years as new approaches to restore or replace the lost or malfunctioned tissues and organs. Many engineered tissues and organs such as skin and cartilage have already been used for clinical applications. The structures and surface properties of porous scaffolds and biomaterials play an important role in manipulation of cell functions and promotion of the formation of functional tissues and organs. A number of highly biocompatible and functional biomaterials and scaffolds, and surface modification methods have been developed to mimic the nano-structured extracellular matrices and hierarchical structures of cellular microenvironment. This lecture will highlight the latest development and progress, future trends and challenges of porous scaffolds and surface modification technology used for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.
