What are the Key Components of Tissue Engineering?
Tissue engineering typically involves three primary components:
Cells: These can be stem cells, primary cells, or cell lines, and they are the building blocks of the tissue. Scaffolds: These are 3D structures made from biocompatible materials that provide a framework for cells to attach, grow, and differentiate. Growth Factors: These are signaling molecules that guide cell behavior, including proliferation, migration, and differentiation.
