Abstract
Advanced regenerative therapy aims to repair pathologically damaged tissue by cell transplantation in conjunction with supporting scaffolds. Gelatin-based scaffolds have attracted much attention in recent years due to their great bio-affinity that encourages the regeneration of tissues. Nowadays, by strengthening gelatin-based systems, cutting-edge methods like 3D bioprinting, freeze-drying, microfluidics and gelatin functionalization have shown excellent mimicry of natural tissue. The fabrication of porous gelatin-based scaffolds for wider tissue engineering applications including skin, cartilage, bone, liver, and cardiovascular is reviewed in this work. Additionally, the crosslinking procedures and the physicochemical characteristics of the gelatin-based scaffolds are also studied. Now, gelatin is considered one of the highest potential biomaterials for impending trends in which the gelatin-based scaffolds are used as a support structure for regenerative therapy.
