Hierarchically structured biomaterials for tissue regeneration

Abstract

Repairing tissue defects caused by diseases and traumas presents significant challenges in the clinic. Recent advancements in biomaterials have offered promising strategies for promoting tissue regeneration. In particular, the exploration of 3D macro and microstructures of biomaterials has proven crucial in this process. The integration of macro, micro, and nanostructures facilitates the performance of biomaterials in terms of their mechanical properties, degradation rate, and distinctive impacts on cellular activities. In this review, we summarize the recent progress in biomaterials with hierarchical structures for tissue regeneration. We explore the various methods and strategies employed in designing biomaterials with hierarchical structures of different dimensions. The improvement of physicochemical properties and bioactivities by hierarchically structured biomaterials, including the regulation of mechanical properties, degradability, and the specific functions of cell behaviors, has been highlighted. Furthermore, the current applications of hierarchically structured biomaterials for tissue regeneration are discussed. Finally, we conclude by summarizing the developments of hierarchically structured biomaterials for tissue regeneration and provide future perspectives.
