## Abstract Tissue engineering has achieved much progress in an attempt to improve and recover impaired functions of tissues and organs. Although many studies have been done, progress for tissue‐engineered anterior cruciate ligaments (ACLs) has been slow due to their complex structures and mechanic

## Abstract Heart valve disease is a significant cause of mortality worldwide. However, to date, a nonthrombogenic, noncalcific prosthetic, which maintains normal valve mechanical properties and hemodynamic flow, and exhibits sufficient fatigue properties has not been designed. Current prosthetic d
## Abstract Scaffolds for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications are commonly manufactured from synthetic materials, intact or isolated components of extracellular matrix (ECM), or a combination of such materials. After surgical implantation, the metabolic requirements of cells t
## Abstract Tissue‐engineering scaffold‐based strategies have suffered from limited cell depth viability when cultured __in vitro__, with viable cells existing within the outer periphery of the fluid–scaffold interface. This is primarily believed to be due to the lack of nutrient delivery into and
## Abstract **Summary:** This study investigated the room‐temperature compression molding/particle leaching approach to fabricate three‐dimensional porous scaffolds for tissue engineering. Scaffolds with anatomical shapes (ear, joint, tube, cylinder) were made from biodegradable poly(D,L‐lactide) a
