Cartilage tissue scaffold
A cartilage tissue scaffold is a supportive structure designed to repair or replace damaged cartilage, which is the flexible tissue cushioning joints. Made from biocompatible materials, the scaffold provides a framework that encourages new cartilage cells to grow and regenerate the damaged area. It mimics the natural environment of cartilage, guiding tissue formation and ensuring proper function. These scaffolds are often used in medical treatments to restore joint health, especially when natural repair processes are insufficient, helping improve mobility and reduce pain.
