What are the Challenges in Using Nanotechnology for Scaffolds?
Despite its potential, there are several challenges in using nanotechnology for scaffolds:
- Scalability: Producing nanoscaffolds on a large scale while maintaining quality and consistency can be difficult. - Biocompatibility: Ensuring that the materials and fabrication processes do not induce adverse immune responses is crucial. - Mechanical Properties: Balancing the mechanical strength and biodegradability of the scaffold to match the requirements of different tissues remains a challenge. - Regulatory Approval: Navigating the regulatory landscape for the clinical application of nanoscaffolds can be complex and time-consuming.
