What are the Applications of Minimal Matrix Research?
Research into the minimal matrix has several applications, including:
- Regenerative Medicine: Developing scaffolds that mimic the natural ECM to promote tissue regeneration. - Cancer Research: Understanding how cancer cells interact with the ECM can lead to new therapeutic strategies. - Wound Healing: Designing materials that support the natural wound healing process. - Drug Delivery Systems: Creating ECM-based systems for targeted and controlled release of drugs.
