Abstract

Tissue engineering is a progressive technology, opening up new ways to fathom the dream of regenerative medicine. The basis of tissue engineering is cell culture on scaffold that is synthesized from natural membranes or artificial membranes made of natural or synthetic polymers. Scaffolds in tissue engineering should support the proliferation and differentiation of cells to mimic biological function of extracellular matrix. Bionanotechnology can provide great prospect for future biomaterials' design in tissue engineering. Ceramic-based biomaterials are major group of biomaterials for hard tissue regeneration. The communication between surface of biomaterials and living tissues plays essential role in reaction of the body to implanted devices. Natural and synthetic polymer-based biomaterials were widely used as cell supporting matrices in tissue regeneration. These kinds of biomaterials have been considered as attractive approaches, because of their chemical and biological similarities to extracellular matrix.
