Understanding cell-scaffold mechanical interactions is crucial for tissue engineering. This review explores how cells influence scaffolds and how scaffold properties affect cell behavior for better tissue regeneration.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Materials Science
  • Cell Biology

Background:

  • Tissue engineering success depends on selecting appropriate cells and scaffolds.
  • Scaffolds provide mechanical and biological support for cell growth.
  • Cell-scaffold interactions are complex and application-specific.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the mechanical interplay between cells and scaffolds in engineered tissues.
  • To summarize evidence of cell-induced forces on three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds.
  • To discuss scaffold properties' effects on cell behavior and tissue regeneration.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on cell-scaffold mechanical interactions.
  • Analysis of evidence for cellular contractile forces on 3D scaffolds.
