Abstract
This review emphasizes the role of angiogenesis in tissue engineering, introduces various angiogenic growth factors, and highlights current status of delivery systems for angiogenic growth factors using natural and synthetic biomaterials. A short overview of angiogenic growth factors is presented, followed by the introduction of emerging strategies for designing smart delivery carriers.
