Regenerative medicine is an evolving field within biomedical engineering that aims to restore or replace damaged tissues and organs by enhancing cellular activity. Tissue regeneration is often constrained by limited intrinsic healing potential, impacting key cellular processes such as migration, proliferation, and differentiation [1-11]. Advances in biomaterial science have facilitated the development of innovative strategies to overcome these challenges, enabling more effective and patient-friendly regenerative treatments. However, conventional in vitro cell culture systems, primarily based on polystyrene dishes, fail to replicate the complex microenvironment of native tissues. This discrepancy results in altered cellular behaviors in vitro, leading to inconsistencies between preclinical laboratory findings and clinical outcomes. Addressing this gap requires the development of biomaterials that can more accurately mimic the native extracellular matrix (ECM) and enhance cellular function both in vitro and in vivo.
