Abstract

Tissue-engineered scaffolds have been identified as appropriate templates for bone regeneration, especially complex geometries seen in craniofacial defects. Here we describe the general fabrication and modification of hydrogels, cryogels, and electrospun scaffolds. These scaffolds offer a variety of templates for facilitating bone growth and regeneration in craniofacial applications.

Keywords: Cryogels; Electrospun scaffolds; Hydrogels; Scaffolds; Tissue engineering.
