What Are the Key Properties of Biodegradable Scaffolds?
For scaffolds to be effective, they must possess several key properties: - Biocompatibility: Should not elicit an immune response. - Biodegradability: Should degrade at a rate that matches tissue regeneration. - Mechanical Strength: Must be strong enough to support cells but flexible enough to allow tissue growth. - Porosity: Should have a porous structure to facilitate nutrient and waste exchange.
