Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to enhance the application potential of scaffolds in tissue engineering, comprehensive characterization of scaffold micro- and macro-structure, porosity, permeability and mechanical properties are required. In addition, before in vivo studies can be carried out, a complete assessment of the in vitro behavior of scaffolds, e.g. in selected cell culture studies, is required. The present chapter revises the wide range of methods applied to characterize scaffolds and emphasizes the need for a combination of different characterization techniques for understanding scaffold performance required for successful bone regeneration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: As the body's natural scaffolding is largely comprised of collagen, a significant amount of research is being conducted focused on how to engineer collagen scaffolds with properties identical to natively derived collagen. A major benefit of utilizing collagen as the source material for tissue engineering scaffolds is its bioactive chemistry and ability to support cell attachment and growth. Currently, the only commercially successful tissue engineered product, Apligraf®, utilized a collagen scaffolds to form temporary skin. Despite the benefits of collagen-based tissue engineering scaffolds, many challenges are associated with the use of these materials including low strength, low stiffness and long processing times.
