Additive Manufacturing as an Advanced Sustainable Technique for Scaffold Production
摘要
Tissue engineering, as one of the most innovative fields in regenerative medicine, focuses on developing biological substitutes to repair and regenerate damaged tissues. Scaffolds, as three-dimensional matrices, play a pivotal role in this process. These porous structures provide a suitable environment for cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation, thereby facilitating tissue regeneration. In recent decades, significant advancements in additive manufacturing technology have revolutionized the design and fabrication of scaffolds. Additive manufacturing, with its ability to create complex and customized structures, has paved the way for producing scaffolds with unique properties. This technology, by enabling precise control over the micro and nano structures of scaffolds, allows for the mimicry of natural tissue environments, consequently significantly enhancing the efficacy of these scaffolds.
