What are the Challenges in Developing Biocompatible Scaffolds?
Despite their potential, developing effective biocompatible scaffolds presents several challenges:
1. Biocompatibility: Ensuring that the scaffold material does not elicit an adverse immune response. 2. Mechanical Properties: Achieving the right balance between scaffold strength and flexibility to match the target tissue. 3. Degradation: Controlling the scaffold's degradation rate to synchronize with tissue regeneration. 4. Cell Integration: Enhancing cell-scaffold interactions to promote tissue formation and vascularization.
