Porosity: This refers to the presence of interconnected pores within the scaffold, which allows for cell migration, nutrient diffusion, and waste removal. Biocompatibility: The materials used in scaffold construction must be compatible with the host tissue to avoid adverse immune responses. Mechanical Properties: The scaffold must possess mechanical strength that matches the target tissue to provide appropriate support. Degradability: Scaffolds should degrade at a rate that matches the tissue regeneration process, ensuring that they are gradually replaced by new tissue.
