Add to ORKGTissue engineering was born from the belief that primary cells could be isolated from a patient, expanded in vitro and seeded onto a substrate that could be grafted back into the patient (Yang et a/, 2001) providing a biological alternative to transplantations and prosthesis. There are three main components in tissue engineering, scaffolds, cells and signalling mechanisms that make up the tissue engineering triad. This thesis focuses on the interplay between cell behaviour and scaffold structural properties. Recent studies from our laboratory have developed novel freeze-drying techniques to vary the structure of collagen-glycosaminoglycan (GAG) scaffolds producing scaffolds with mean pores ranging from 85 pm - 325 pm (Haugh et a/, 2010).
