Schematic of two tissue engineering approaches using synthetic ECMs to present growth factors to tissues. (a) Physically encapsulated bioactive factors can be released from synthetic ECMs to target specific cell populations to migrate and direct tissue regeneration. (b) Alternatively, growth factors can be chemically bound to the material system, making them available to cells that infiltrate the material.
