Objective To introduce the research advances of scaffold materials of intervertebral disc tissue engineering.Methods The recent original articles about the scaffolds in intervertebral disc tissue engineering were extensively reviewed.Results At present,agarose,alginate gel,collagen type Ⅰ,PLA,PGA are still major scaffold materials for intervertebral disc tissue engineering because of their good biocompatibility. Conclusion It is one of the popular studies on current intervertebral disc tissue engineering to explore the ideal scaffold materials.
