What are the Applications of Biocompatible Scaffolds in Histology?
Biocompatible scaffolds have numerous applications in histology, including:
1. Tissue Engineering: Scaffolds are used to develop engineered tissues for transplantation and to study tissue regeneration mechanisms. 2. Drug Screening: Scaffold-based models are employed to test the efficacy and toxicity of new drugs in a more physiologically relevant environment. 3. Disease Modeling: Scaffolds help create disease models that mimic the microenvironment of pathological tissues, enabling better understanding and treatment of diseases.
