Guided tissue regeneration is a technique used to restore lost or damaged tissue by using a barrier membrane to control which cells populate a healing site. Originally developed in periodontics to regenerate the bone and connective tissue that support teeth, the approach places a physical barrier between fast-growing soft tissue and the slower-regenerating target tissue, so that the desired cells, such as those forming bone or periodontal ligament, can repopulate the defect without being outcompeted. By directing the spatial pattern of healing, guided tissue regeneration and the closely related guided bone regeneration aim to achieve more complete and predictable restoration of structure and function, and the principles extend to scaffolds and biomaterials used in broader regenerative medicine. Research in Tissue Repair and Regeneration investigates the biomaterials, scaffolds, cells, and signaling that drive the rebuilding of damaged tissues, including bone defects, wounds, and engineered constructs. The journal publishes peer-reviewed work on scaffold materials, wound healing, and bone repair that informs the science underlying barrier-guided and scaffold-based regeneration. This page gathers open-access research relevant to directed tissue regeneration and the materials and biology that enable controlled repair of bone and connective tissue.
