What are the Challenges in Using Nanofibrous Scaffolds?
Despite their advantages, there are several challenges associated with nanofibrous scaffolds:
1. Scalability: Producing large quantities of nanofibrous scaffolds can be challenging and costly. 2. Mechanical Properties: Achieving the desired mechanical strength while maintaining the nanofibrous structure is often difficult. 3. Sterilization: Ensuring the scaffolds are free from contaminants without compromising their properties is crucial. 4. Integration: Successful integration with host tissues without eliciting an immune response is a significant hurdle.
