Abstract

Polymeric, ceramic and hybrid material-based three-dimensional (3D) scaffold or matrix structures are important for successful tissue engineering. While the number of approaches utilizing the use of cell-based scaffold and matrix structures is constantly growing, it is essential to provide a framework of their typical preparation and evaluation for tissue engineering. This chapter describes the fabrication of 3D scaffolds using two-photon polymerization, decellularization and cell encapsulation methods and easy-to-use protocols allowing assessing the cell morphology, cytotoxicity and viability in these scaffolds.
