This paper aimed to demonstrate the enormous potential provided by the different plant precursors, such as
wood (in this case Entandrophragma cilindricum), plants (J. maritimus) and macroalgae (Laminaria ochroleuca),
for their application as biocompatible scaffolds for tissue engineering, oriented in the present work to the bone
tissue regeneration being successfully tested with MC3T3-E1 pre-osteoblasts. Thus, these natural precursors were
able to be processed to ceramic materials (pyrolytic carbon or silicon carbide) while retaining the porosity of
vascular system of the plant source and the surface patterning or any other structural features already elaborated in
Nature and generally very hard and expensive to be reproduced artificially.
