Stem cells are cells that are not yet differentiated, can divide asymmetrically, differentiate into different cell types, and perform functional tissue repair. They are recognized as major cellular candidates for the regeneration of damaged tissues. Biomaterials and biomaterial scaffolds are very important in tissue engineering applications using stem cells. Recently, studies examining stem cell biomaterial interactions in different aspects have attracted attention. In this review, current information about the general properties of stem cells and biomaterials, stem cell-biomaterial interactions, three-dimensional (3D) tissue scaffolds used in stem cell studies and 3D bioprinting are given.
