| Popis: | Tissue engineering has attracted a greatdeal of attention, and become one of the major fields inbiotechnology,becauseofitspotentialasanewmethodinthetreatmentofdamagedorlosthumantissueandorgans.In tissue engineering, scaffolds play an important role byserving as substrates for bone regeneration, cell attach-ment, and physical supports for the formation of newtissues.Whereas demands for new biomedical polymeric mate-rials continue to grow, needs for renewable alternatives oftraditionalpolymerstoembracethechallengesinenviron-mental protection and future shortage of petroleumsupplies are fueling a new phase of development of thearea. In fact, rapid depletion of fossil and petroleumresources, skyrocketing of petrol price, and increasingemission of greenhouse gases have brought the chemicalindustry, grown on the basis of fossil resources, to acrossroads. Crisis inspires changes, and in this context,actual chemists are being forced to release the chemicalindustry from its dependence on depleting resources.Many biological and chemical processes have hithertobeen demonstrated powerful for production of polymers,fuels,andchemicalsfrombiorenewableresources,withtheutilizationofcarbohydratesandlipidsasamajorinterest. |
