Scaffold in engineered tissues plays important functions analogous to that of extracellular matrix in native tissues.Apart from providing structural support for cells, scaffolds should also interact with cells by providing or mediating suitable biological and physical cues in their microenvironment, and act as a remodelable template for neotissue formation.
