What are the Challenges Associated with Tissue Scaffolds?
Despite their potential, tissue scaffolds face several challenges:
1. Complexity of the Tumor Microenvironment: Recreating the exact conditions of the tumor microenvironment, including vascularization and immune cell interactions, remains difficult. 2. Scaffold Degradation: Ensuring that the scaffold degrades at an appropriate rate without causing adverse effects is a significant concern. 3. Cell Viability and Function: Maintaining high cell viability and function within the scaffold over extended periods is challenging.
