description

In the present article, an overview of the definition of tissue engineering and scaffold requirements is reported. In particular, scaffold porosity and its relevance for several tissue target regeneration is highlighted. Different scaffold fabrication techniques are reported and explained in details, highlighting advantages and disadvantages for all of these techniques, regarding the specific final applications.
