From Plastic to Silicone: The Novelties in Porous Polymer Fabrications

Figure 1

Tissue engineering approach that uses scaffolds for the purpose of regeneration of new tissue. The cells are first cultured in vitro under specific conditions on the porous scaffold which, after that, is implanted inside the body. Scaffold is eventually bioresorbed and the space occupied by it is replaced by new tissue that is produced by the cells [7], with permission from Springer.
