What are the Challenges in Scaffold Material Development?
Despite the promising applications, several challenges remain: 1. Biocompatibility: Ensuring that scaffold materials are compatible with human tissues and do not elicit an adverse immune response. 2. Mechanical Properties: Developing scaffolds that can withstand physiological stress while maintaining their structural integrity. 3. Scalability: Producing scaffolds on a large scale without compromising their quality and properties. 4. Integration with Host Tissue: Ensuring that the scaffold integrates seamlessly with the host tissue to facilitate natural healing processes.
