Figure 3 Interactive ‘‘diamond’’ concept of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine suggests that in addition to cell type, 3D dimensional structure/architecture, mechanical/physical signals, and bioactive factors in the environment are critical and act in concert to direct tissue repair and regeneration. Cell activity is dynamically regulated by the other key cornerstones of the diamond.
