Importance of the field: Biomimetic scaffolds and substrates of extracellular matrices (ECMs)
play an important role in the regulation of cell function and in the guidance of new tissue …

Scaffold pore size is an important factor affecting tissue regeneration efficiency. The effect of
pore size on cartilage tissue regeneration was compared by using four types of collagen …

The capacity to induce rapid vascular ingrowth during new bone formation is an important
feature of biomaterials that are to be used for bone regeneration. Akermanite, a Ca-, Mg- and …

Cell-derived extracellular matrix (ECM) scaffolds have received considerable interest for
tissue engineering applications. In this study, ECM scaffolds derived from mesenchymal stem …

Development of autologous scaffolds has been highly desired for implantation without
eliciting adverse inflammatory and immune responses. However, it has been difficult to obtain …

Ideal biomaterials for bone tissue engineering should have the capability to guide the
osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells and, at the same time, to stimulate …

Multicellular tumor spheroid models (MCTS) are often coined as 3D in vitro models that can
mimic the microenvironment of tissues. MCTS have gained increasing interest in the nano‐…

Extracellular matrix (ECM) scaffolds derived from cultured cells have drawn increasing
attention for use in tissue engineering. We have developed a method to prepare cultured cell‐…

Multicellular spheroids and organoids are promising in vitro 3D models in personalized
medicine and drug screening. They replicate the structural and functional characteristics of …

Micropatterned surfaces are very useful to control cell microenvironment and investigate the
physical effects on cell function. In this study, poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) micropatterns on …
