Kidney regeneration is hindered by the limited pool of intrinsic reparative cells. Advanced therapies targeting renal regeneration have the potential to alleviate the clinical and financial burdens associated with kidney disease. Delivery systems for cells, extracellular vesicles, or growth factors aimed at enhancing regeneration can benefit from vehicles enabling targeted delivery and controlled release.

- Promoting angiogenesis is crucial for effective organ and tissue reconstitution, leading researchers to investigate ways to enhance vascularization in tissue engineering scaffolds.
- * The design and surface topography of biomaterials significantly influence endothelial cell behavior, affecting aspects like cell growth and migration, which are vital for successful tissue engineering.
- * The study introduces biomimetic polycaprolactone membranes that mimic leaf surface topography, showing improved endothelial cell proliferation and greater support for angiogenesis compared to flat membranes, suggesting a promising direction for enhanced vascular integration in tissue engineering.
