What role do biodegradable scaffolds play in tissue engineering for cancer?
In tissue engineering, biodegradable scaffolds are used to support the growth and regeneration of tissues affected by cancer. These scaffolds provide a three-dimensional structure that mimics the natural extracellular matrix, promoting cell attachment, proliferation, and differentiation. They can be used to reconstruct tissues after surgical removal of tumors, aiding in the healing process and reducing the risk of recurrence.
