Propolis is a natural product collected by bees from buds of plants and bark of trees, then moistened with bee enzymes. Propolis is widely used for general treatment, skin affections, and as an anti-inflammatory agent for ulcers and hard-to-heal wounds. Propolis, due to its properties, is called an antibiotic of the 21st century.

Although it is a relatively young field of science, it creates new possibilities for the reconstruction of pathologically altered tissue with the use of three-dimensional scaffolds. Tissue engineering places particular emphasis on the type of scaffold from which they are made because of a number of requirements of medical materials including biocompatibility, mechanical strength and porosity.
