The Use of Natural Polymers in Tissue Engineering: A Focus on Electrospun Extracellular Matrix Analogues
Natural polymers such as collagens, elastin, and fibrinogen make up much of the body’s native extracellular matrix (ECM). This ECM provides structure and mechanical integrity to tissues, as well as communicating with the cellular components it supports to help facilitate and regulate daily cellular...
