Why Are Biodegradable Scaffolds Important in Histology?
In histology, understanding the interaction between cells and their microenvironment is vital. Biodegradable scaffolds provide a platform to study these interactions in a controlled manner. They allow researchers to observe how cells attach, grow, and differentiate in a three-dimensional context, which closely mimics the natural tissue environment. This is particularly important for developing effective tissue engineering strategies and for studying disease models.
