The process generally involves three main components:
Cells: These can be autologous (from the patient), allogeneic (from a donor), or xenogeneic (from another species). Stem cells are particularly important due to their ability to differentiate into various cell types. Scaffolds: These are materials that support cell growth and tissue formation. They can be natural (like collagen) or synthetic (like biodegradable polymers). Growth Factors: These are biochemical signals that regulate cell activities such as migration, proliferation, and differentiation.
