“…Synthetic polymers have good plasticity, and their microstructure, morphology, and degradation rate can be predesigned and regulated according to the biology of specific tissue ( Wang et al, 2020b ). PCL ( Venugopal et al, 2019 ), PLA ( Baena et al, 2019 ), PGA ( Lin et al, 2017 ), and PLGA ( Kim et al, 2019 ) are the most representative and widely used synthetic polymers, and have been approved by the FDA for clinical human use. Scaffolds made from synthetic polymers temporarily provide mechanical support after implantation, as well as a microenvironment for cell growth, proliferation and differentiation, thereby regulating and inducing tissue differentiation and regeneration ( Li S. et al, 2020 ; Salonius et al, 2020 ).…”
