Abstract

This chapter discusses mammalian extracellular matrix (ECM) as a biologic scaffold material for tissue engineering applications. ECM has been used as a surgically implantable bioscaffold for the reconstruction of injured or missing tissues. Biologic scaffolds composed of ECM alter the default mammalian injury response and promote constructive and functional tissue remodeling. This chapter reviews ECM bioscaffold preparation and mechanisms of action. Commercially available ECM bioscaffolds and recent clinical applications are also discussed.
