biopolymer scaffolds

Biopolymer scaffolds are structures made from natural or biodegradable materials that support tissue growth, often used in medical treatments like regenerative medicine. They act like a temporary framework, guiding cells to grow and develop into new tissue, such as skin, cartilage, or bone. These scaffolds are designed to degrade safely over time, leaving behind healthy, functioning tissue. They are biocompatible, meaning they don’t cause adverse reactions in the body, and can be tailored in shape and strength to suit different medical needs, making them essential tools for tissue repair and regeneration.
