Biomimetic materials are engineered to create favorable stem cell niches for in vitro experimental stem cell biology studies and for clinical use in regenerative medicine applications. Because all stem cells are exquisitely sensitive to environmental cues, the bioengineering component of regenerative medicine will be crucial to modulate and control stem cell behavior to allow effective cell-based therapies to be used clinically (Reprinted with permission from Townsend et al., 2017.
