Abstract :
This paper is based on tissue engineering. Here a scaffold created outside the body to provide key biophysical or chemical signals to stem cells or prime the body endogenously such that it is more hospitable to injected stem cells, it is clear that simply injecting naked stem cells may not yield their full potential.
