Biodegradable and biocompatible polymers for tissue engineering application: a review

Abstract

Since so many years ago, tissue damages that are caused owing to various reasons attract scientists’ attention to find a practical way to treat. In this regard, many studies were conducted. Nano scientists also suggested some ways and the newest one is called tissue engineering. They use biodegradable polymers in order to replace damaged structures in tissues to make it practical. Biodegradable polymers are dominant scaffolding materials in tissue engineering field. In this review, we explained about biodegradable polymers and their application as scaffolds.
