Development of innovative structural biomaterials for regenerative medicine
Regenerative medicine aims to help heal living tissues by integrating scaffolds, cells and signaling factors. From engineering point of view, development of structural biomaterials for scaffolds is an important challenge. Although much emphasis has been put on research on biocompatibility and biodegradability so far, new features including high mechanical performance, precise shape control, high handleability and regeneration-inducing capacity are required. The goal of our research is to create innovative structural biomaterias through 3D manufacturing of biomaterials, precision molecular design and the identification and placement of regeneration-inducing signals.
