Biomimetic design of biomedical scaffolds and their application in tissue engineering / 中国组织工程研究

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:Biomimetic design of bioactive materials to restore,maintain or improve the function of tissue based on the understanding of anatomy on the function and structure of biological tissue is a research hotspot in the field of regenerative medicine at present. OBJECTIVE:To discuss the effect of mechanical properties,three-dimensional spatial structure,and biochemical activity of biomedical scaffolds on cell behavior and review the application of biomedical scaffolds in the field of tissue engineering. METHODS:The articles published in CNKI,Wanfang,Web of Science,and PubMed databases from January 2003 to April 2023 were searched by computer.The Chinese search terms were"extracellular matrix,tissue engineering,scaffolds,biomaterials,biomimetic structures,mechanical properties,three-dimensional structures,tendon-bone interface,osteochondral,neural conduits,artificial blood vessels".English search terms were"extracellular matrix,tissue engineering,scaffolds,biomimetic structures,biomaterials,tendon bone interfaces,osteochondral,neural conduits,artificial blood vessels". RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Cells are in a complex and dynamic three-dimensional environment,so the extracellular matrix is the ultimate target of biomaterial simulation.The bionic structure of biomedical scaffolders needs to be similar to the real microenvironment,so that cells can stick to the wall,grow and migrate normally,and maintain their diverse physiological functions.Biomimetic design of extracellular matrix in terms of mechanical properties,three-dimensional spatial structure,and biochemical properties of biomedical scaffolds can play a decisive role in tissue repair,thus affecting the final result of tissue repair.Biomimetic biomedical scaffolds have been widely used in tendon-bone interface,bone cartilage interface,nerve,vascular regeneration,and other fields,providing a promising new idea in clinical practice.
