A biocompatible scaffold is provided that includes a biocompatible scaffold substrate and an amount of a demethylation agent or a methylation inhibitor, in an amount effective to induce and/or promote tissue repair and regeneration. The demethylation agent or methylation inhibitor can be a cytidine analog. The scaffold can further include an effective amount of one or more of a target specific growth factor, a cytokine, a signaling molecule or a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The scaffold can be constructed of a natural or non-natural material; one alternative is a gel formed by the catalytic activity of transglutaminase. |
