Abstract

This chapter describes concepts of tissue engineering and scaffold fabrication and function as these relate to 3D cell and tissue growth and function which may lead to complex organ manufacture. Scaffold materials are described, including natural (biological) scaffold materials such as collagen, chitosan, and silk as well as metals and polymers.
