Bioactive Scaffolds

Bioactive scaffolds are specially designed structures used in tissue engineering to repair or replace damaged tissues. Made from biocompatible materials, they provide a supportive framework that encourages the body's own cells to grow, regenerate, and integrate seamlessly. These scaffolds can deliver nutrients, growth factors, or other signals to assist healing. They mimic the natural environment of tissues, guiding regeneration and improving success rates of medical treatments like bone, cartilage, or skin repair. Essentially, bioactive scaffolds act as a temporary, nurturing scaffold that assists the body in rebuilding itself.
