Marine-Derived Biomaterials for Tissue Engineering Applications

Abstract

Marine organisms possess a vast range of properties, which portray a lot of their appropriate biomedical application potentials either directly, modified or as templates for biomimicking. It is and will remain a humble and smart move to learn from nature and try to copy faithfully the vital components so as to develop implantable biomaterials to mimic efficiently natural tissues or organs in order to substitute effectively diseased tissues or organs, to stimulate the body’s own regenerative mechanisms, and eventually to promote tissue healing. The potentials of marine materials in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications are now evident. Recent advances in this area have shown to improve people’s life.
