Gelatin is used in a broad range of tissue engineering applications because of its bioactivity, mild processing conditions, and ease of modification, which have increased interest in its use as a growth factor delivery vehicle. Traditional methods to control growth factor sequestration and delivery have relied on controlling hydrogel mesh size via chemical crosslinking with corollary changes to the physical properties of the hydrogel. To decouple growth factor release from scaffold properties, affinity sequestration modalities have been developed to preserve the bioactivity of the growth factor through interactions with the modified gelatin. This review provides a summary of these mechanisms, highlights current gelatin growth factor delivery systems, and addresses the future perspective of gelatin matrices for growth factor delivery in tissue engineering.
