A new therapeutic trial based on the natural-healing potential of body itself to induce tissues regeneration and repairing, has been recently expected. To realize this regenerative therapy, there are two approaches of cell transplantation and tissue engineering. Tissue engineering is a biomaterial technology or methodology to artificially create a local environment which enables cells to enhance their proliferation and differentiation for tissue regeneration. If a cell scaffold or a key bio-active is supplied to the right place at the right time or concentration, the body system initiates to physiologically function, resulting in the natural induction of cell-based tissue regeneration.
The biological functions of bio-active molecules are promoted by combining with drug delivery system (DDS) technology. Biodegradable hydrogels enabled the controlled release of various growth factors and chemokines to realize the cell healing potential-based regeneration and repairing of various tissues through the in vivo recruitment and activation of cells. This release and/or cell scaffold technologies can be combined with cell transplantation to significantly enhance the therapeutic efficacy in tissue regeneration.
In this paper, several applications of DDS and cell scaffold technologies to the tissue regeneration therapy are introduced to emphasize the necessity and significance of tissue engineering technologies in regenerative medicine.
