  • Case study focusing on intervertebral disc tissue engineering requirements.

    • Main Results:

    • Scaffolds serve critical roles in cell adhesion, proliferation, differentiation, and matrix deposition.
    • Key scaffolding approaches include natural polymers, synthetic polymers, ceramics, and decellularized matrices.
    • Intervertebral disc tissue engineering necessitates scaffolds that mimic native disc biomechanics and composition.

    Conclusions:

    • A systematic approach to scaffold selection, considering both general principles and tissue-specific needs, is essential.
    • Understanding scaffold functions and fabrication methods aids in optimizing tissue engineering strategies.
    • This review provides a framework for informed scaffold selection, particularly for challenging applications like intervertebral disc repair.
