The Challenges of Tissue Scaffold Integration in Human Tissues

Abstract

Author(s): Nizam Ahmad*

The development of tissue scaffolds has been a major breakthrough in regenerative medicine, offering the potential for repairing or replacing damaged tissues and organs. Tissue scaffolds, typically composed of biocompatible materials, are designed to provide structural support for cells, promoting tissue growth and facilitating the regeneration of damaged areas. However, despite the promising advances in tissue engineering, there are significant challenges to the integration of these scaffolds with human tissues. Successful integration requires not only the scaffold to be biologically compatible with the host tissue but also for it to promote functional regeneration.
