tissue scaffolds

Tissue scaffolds are supportive structures used in medical and biological applications, particularly in regenerative medicine. They are often made from biodegradable materials and serve as a framework for cells to grow, helping to rebuild damaged tissues or organs. Just as a scaffold supports a building under construction, tissue scaffolds provide shape and support to new tissue as it forms. Over time, as the cells integrate and grow, the scaffold gradually breaks down and is absorbed by the body, leaving behind new, healthy tissue. This technology shows promise in healing wounds, repairing injuries, and even organ replacement.
