Background: Collagen has biocompatibility and biodegradability with tissue or organ, therefore, collagen is the most promising material for tissue engineering. In particular, the binding of collagen to specific cells is considered an essential function to develop scaffolds. However, in some cases the binding inhibits the cell motility. In addition, it is not clear whether collagen is the effective scaffold to promote osteogenic differentiation. These days, we succeeded in deve...
