Tissue engineering is a multidisciplinary field that focuses on the regeneration of healthy human tissues. Despite the fact that the body has inherent self-healing abilities, the level of regeneration differs between tissues and can be hampered by the severity of injury or disease. 48 To coordinate tissue creation and integration within the host environment, the traditional paradigm depends on a combination of biomaterial scaffolds, cells, and bioactive chemicals. The discovery of biomaterials that can enhance regenerative processes by successfully conveying cell populations and therapeutic drugs, as well as providing structural scaffolding that provide necessary mechanical characteristics to tissues, is an important area of tissue engineering. Furthermore, the biomaterial should disintegrate at a rate that is equivalent to the growth of new tissue at the implantation site.
