Tissue engineering relies on biomaterials that support cell growth, remodeling, and eventual integration with native tissues.
These materials often mimic the structure and mechanics of natural extracellular matrices, creating environments that guide cellular behavior and promote functional tissue regeneration.
Overview
Why Swelling and Degradation Matter:
A scaffold’s swelling can affect how cells populate it and how nutrients diffuse.
Its degradation must be tuned to match tissue regrowth rates—too fast, and the scaffold disappears before healing is complete; too slow, and it blocks tissue remodeling.
Example Applications:
Cardiac patches
Osteochondral (bone-cartilage) scaffolds
Skin graft substitutes
How GelTech Helps:
Our instruments quantify swelling behavior, porosity changes, and mass loss over time, under biologically relevant conditions.
Polyscan 3D reveals 3D architecture evolution without needing to section or destroy the sample.
