Area of Science:

  • Polymeric biomaterials
  • Biomaterials engineering
  • Tissue engineering

Background:

  • Nature-inspired design is crucial for advanced polymeric biomaterials.
  • Polyurethane (PU) implants are increasingly used in tissue engineering due to tunable properties.
  • PU's chemical stability, biocompatibility, and low cytotoxicity make them suitable for biomedical applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To critically review studies on polyurethane scaffolds for tissue regeneration.
  • To highlight the potential of biomimetic polyurethanes in mimicking native tissue properties.
  • To include non-isocyanate polyurethanes (NIPUs) in the review for soft and hard tissue regeneration.

Main Methods:

  • Review of recent scientific literature on polyurethane scaffolds.
  • Analysis of studies focusing on biomimetic properties (mechanical, morphological, surface).
  • Inclusion of research on both conventional and non-isocyanate polyurethanes.

Main Results:

  • Polyurethane building blocks can be modified to create biomimetic structures.
  • Advances in manufacturing enable the creation of sophisticated biomimetic materials.
  • Polyurethanes show significant potential for regenerating cardiac muscle, blood vessels, skeletal muscle, and bone tissue.

Conclusions:

  • Polyurethane scaffolds offer a versatile platform for tissue engineering applications.
  • Biomimetic design is key to achieving functional tissue regeneration with PUs.
  • Further research into PUs, including NIPUs, is essential for advancing regenerative medicine.
