Several methods are used to fabricate tissue scaffolds, including:
- Electrospinning: Produces nanofibrous scaffolds that mimic the ECM. - 3D Printing: Allows precise control over scaffold architecture and pore size. - Freeze-drying: Creates porous structures by sublimating frozen solvent. - Solvent casting: Involves dissolving and casting polymers into molds.
Each method offers unique advantages and is selected based on the intended application and desired scaffold properties.
