Several methods are employed for cell delivery, each suited to different applications:
Injection: Directly injecting cells into the target site. This method is commonly used for localized treatments. Scaffolds: Using biodegradable materials that provide structural support for cells. These scaffolds can mimic the extracellular matrix and promote cell attachment and growth. Hydrogels: Hydrophilic polymers that can encapsulate cells and release them gradually into the tissue. Hydrogels offer a conducive environment for cell survival and proliferation. Microspheres: Tiny spherical particles that can encapsulate cells and protect them during delivery. They can be engineered to release cells in a controlled manner. Tissue Constructs: Pre-fabricated tissue-like structures containing cells. These constructs are implanted into the target site and integrate with the host tissue.
