Abstract
Collagen, which has seen widespread use in tissue engineering, has several advantages as a scaffold, including the ability to entrap cells directly as it is reconstituted into a gel. However, there are some drawbacks to its use, particularly the suppression of cell proliferation and protein synthesis.
