Tissue engineering/Biomaterials or biomaterials constitute two fundamental subfields of regenerative medicine. Regenerative medicine refers to methods and components intended to repair or replace lost or impaired body functions. In this context, when we consider biomaterials and tissue engineering, biomaterials are man-made materials developed and used in products for medical treatment purposes. Tissue engineering is a set of methods for producing living functional tissue from cell cultures or tissue cultures. Tissue engineering and biomaterials refer to two concepts that are complementary to each other. The main reason for this was that biomaterials were at the center of the scaffolds, matrices and materials used in tissue engineering. Today, tissue engineering is considered a field in itself, overlapping with biomaterials, primarily in terms of the biocompatible, biodegradable materials used.

Products produced from biomaterials cover a wide range. Prominent examples; medical implants include artificial hip joints and other joint replacements, intraocular lenses, dental implants, cochlear implants, heart and aortic valves, stents for the repair of heart coronary arteries, vascular grafts, breast implants and many more. All of these are intended for more or less permanent use on the body. Biomaterials also include many components and devices that are used only temporarily, such as syringes, catheters, dressings for burns and chronic wounds, artificial skin, and some orthopedic repair components.

The material classes used for implants and components cover the entire accessible range; Metals, alloys, ceramic materials, polymers, carbon and combinations thereof, including composite materials. Biocompatibility has different meanings for different implants, but in general it is the ability of a particular material to meet the functional requirement in a particular application. Durability and other factors in orthopedic implants Mechanical properties are important elements, but also the ability of the material to integrate with bone tissue. Blood compatibility in stents, vascular grafts and heart valves is a very important feature to prevent blood clotting and its consequences. Therefore, blood compatibility is an important feature for such devices.

Unlike the field of biomaterials, which refers to the actual material itself, tissue engineering refers to the way tissue material is produced. In fact, tissue engineering consists of a wide variety of methods for growing tissues and/or organs for tissue/body repair and is also an important subfield of regenerative medicine. The focus of tissue engineering today is to find the right starting cell or tissue cultures and then, usually in a bioreactor, analyze biomolecular signaling substances, nutrition, pH, temperature, structure, agitation/motion patterns, etc. It is to provide the most suitable development conditions for the culture, including scaffolds that will hold and guide the tissue. Some tissues need vascularization, and this requires much more effort than non-vascularized tissues. The use of three-dimensional printing instead of two-dimensional printing continues to increase in order to obtain the correct shape and design of the tissue/organ. In this context, by closely following the technological developments in the world and using current technologies such as three-dimensional bioprinters and new generation tissue engineering technologies, the products to be developed within the scope of biomaterial research and development activities with biocompatible, biodegradable properties will be used for bone and cartilage damage, tissue and organ damage, and wound and burn treatment. It includes activities to develop products for
