Polyelectrolytes have been at the center of interdisciplinary research for many decades. In the field of polymer science and soft matter, they have provided the dimensions of electrostatic interactions, which opens a vast variety of opportunities for new physical properties and applications. In biological matter, polyelectrolytes are present in many forms, from extracellular polysaccharides to complex DNA molecules and proteins. This review discusses the recent research on polyelectrolytes covering the fundamental level of their conformations and nanostructures, their molecular interactions with materials that have close relevance to bioapplications and their applications in the biomedical field. This approach is motivated by the fact that the polyelectrolyte research is constantly active in all the aforementioned levels and continually affects many critical scientific areas.

Tissue engineering involves the use of living cells and cell scaffolds to develop biological substitutes for tissue replacements, it is one of promising ways for rehabilitation and reconstruction functional tissue and organs. In order to engineer substitutes for tissue replacements, cell scaffolds with specific shape and pore structure are required. A novel “elastic porogen/pressure filtration technique” was put forward and studied firstly in this paper to overcome the disadvantages of the existed techniques for cell scaffold fabrication. The properties of elastic porogen (deformation ratio, water solubility, appearance and dimension) and pore structure of scaffolds were studied, respectively. The experimental results demonstrated that the scaffolds with well defined pore structure can be formed through this novel technique, and the pore shape and sizes as well as size of openings between pores could be manual controlled conveniently. The pore structure and morphology of scaffolds were satisfied to the requirements of tissue engineering, which suggested that elastic porogen/pressure filtration technique was an ideal cell scaffold forming technique.
