tissue scaffolding

Tissue scaffolding is a framework used in regenerative medicine to support the growth and repair of damaged tissues. It acts like a temporary or long-term structural support made from biocompatible materials, guiding cells to grow in the desired shape and organization. This scaffold provides essential cues and a surface for cells to attach, multiply, and develop into functional tissue. Over time, the scaffold may gradually dissolve, leaving behind new, healthy tissue. It’s a vital tool for helping the body heal itself by mimicking the natural environment cells need to regenerate effectively.
