What are the Challenges in Tissue Scaffold Development?
Despite their potential, several challenges remain in the development of tissue scaffolds:
- Integration with Host Tissue: Ensuring seamless integration and avoiding rejection. - Scaffold Degradation: Achieving a degradation rate that matches tissue growth. - Vascularization: Promoting the formation of blood vessels within the scaffold. - Scale-Up: Translating laboratory successes to large-scale clinical applications.
Addressing these challenges requires ongoing research and collaboration across disciplines.
