Tissue engineering applications biomimetic approach

Different biomimetic approaches exploiting enzymatic methods using tyrosinase have been used to prepare protein-polysaccharides conjugates and to create hydrogels from biopolymers for tissue engineering application. 

Smart materials and in particular smart polymers represent a class of materials increasingly used for advanced applications, hi particular, biomedical and biotechnological approaches specifically take advantage of metamorphic polymers to develop advanced tissue engineering, drug-delivery systems, and specific therapies. Some of these approaches are based on biomimetic approaches, some others rely on the specificity of the variations of temperature, pH, mechanical or electrical signals within the livmg body.
