Abstract: BACKGROUND: In the field of tissue engineering, decellularized scaffolds are widely used owing to their biocompatibility. Nonetheless, these scaffolds frequently encounter the limitation of inadequate cell infiltration due to their densely structured composition. Using laser micro-patterning technology for structural modification can improve cell adhesion and proliferation.
OBJECTIVE: To summarize the research progress of laser microporous decellularized scaffolds in tissue regeneration. 
METHODS: Related literature was searched in PubMed and CNKI databases. The Chinese and English search terms were “decellularized scaffold, laser micro-patterning technology, laser microporous decellularized scaffold, extracellular matrix, laser drilling, tissue regeneration.” References were screened according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, and 65 articles were finally included for analysis and discussion.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Laser micro-patterning technology can selectively remove tissues to achieve scaffold modification. Laser treatment can have controllable effects on the pore structure, mechanical properties and cell permeability of the scaffold. (2) To obtain the optimal cell integration and remodeling effect, factors such as scaffold pretreatment, laser and decellularization process sequence, laser parameter setting, decellularization process and pore structure should be considered. (3) At present, the application of laser microporous decellularized scaffolds has shown that it can promote tissue repair, and it is also necessary to solve the problem of tissue thermal damage. Depending on the absorption of different wavelengths of laser light by the tissue, a reasonable selection of laser type is a feasible solution. (4) Tissue damage repair by laser microporous decellularized scaffold is expected to achieve clinical transformation, and optimizing laser technology and carrying out larger scale biosafety testing are future research directions.
