Tissue Engineering Using Combined Cell Sheet Technology and Scaffolding Approach.

Cell sheet technology has remained quite popular among tissue engineering techniques over the last several years. Meanwhile, there is an apparent trend in modern scientific research towards combining different approaches and strategies. Accordingly, a large body of work has arisen where cell sheets are used not as separate structures, but in combination with scaffolds as supporting constructions. The aim of this review is to analyze the intersection of these two vast areas of tissue engineering described in the literature mainly within the last five years. Some practical and technical details are emphasized to provide information that can be useful in research design and planning. The first part of the paper describes the general issues concerning the use of combined technology, its advantages and limitations in comparison with those of other tissue engineering approaches. Next, the detailed literature analysis of in vivo studies aimed at the regeneration of different tissues is performed. A significant part of this section concerns bone regeneration. In addition to that, other connective tissue structures, including articular cartilage and fibrocartilage, ligaments and tendons, and some soft tissues are discussed.
