Current strategies of regenerative medicine are focused on the restoration of pathologically altered tissue architectures by transplantation of cells in combination with supportive scaffolds and biomolecules. In recent years, considerable interest has been given to biologically active scaffolds which are based on similar analogs of the extracellular matrix that have induced synthesis of tissues and organs. To restore function or regenerate tissue, a scaffold is necessary that will act as a temporary matrix for cell proliferation and extracellular matrix deposition, with subsequent ingrowth until the tissues are totally restored or regenerated. Scaffolds have been used for tissue engineering such as bone, cartilage, ligament, skin, vascular tissues, neural tissues, and skeletal muscle and as vehicle for the controlled delivery of drugs, proteins, and DNA. Various technologies come together to construct porous scaffolds to regenerate the tissues/organs and also for controlled and targeted release of bioactive agents in tissue engineering applications. In this paper, an overview of the different types of scaffolds with their material properties is discussed. The fabrication technologies for tissue engineering scaffolds, including the basic and conventional techniques to the more recent ones, are tabulated. 1. Introduction The field of tissue engineering has advanced dramatically in the last 10 years, offering the potential for regenerating almost every tissue and organ of the human body. Tissue engineering and the related discipline of regenerative medicine remain a flourishing area of research with potential new treatments for many more disease states. The advances involve researchers in a multitude of disciplines, including cell biology, biomaterials science, imaging, and characterization of surfaces and cell material interactions. Tissue engineering aims to restore, maintain, or improve tissue functions that are defective or have been lost by different pathological conditions, either by developing biological substitutes or by reconstructing tissues. The general strategies adopted by tissue engineering can be classified into three groups [1]: (i) Implantation of isolated cells or cell substitutes into the organism, (ii) delivering of tissue-inducing substances (such as growth factors), and (iii) placing cells on or within different matrices. The last of these strategies is more frequently associated with the concept of tissue engineering, that is, the use of living cells seeded on a natural or synthetic extracellular substrate to create implantable
