Abstract |
|
Collagen have major functional role in the formation of tissues and organs, and it is also involved in various functional expressions of cells. The use of collagen-based biomaterials in the field of tissue engineering applications has been intensively growing over the past decades. The application of collagen-derived products as biomaterials has tremendous advantages in biomedicine because of these products' natural structure as a biological support for cells and scaffold for tissue repair or regeneration, their biodegradability that obviates removal of implants, and their biocompatibility. This article reviews focused on the entire features of collagen in both as a drug delivery matrix system and a system for tissue engineering as well as its potential therapeutic applications. |
