Scaffold Regeneration

How Did Scaffolding Emerge As A Treatment For Knee Joint Injury?

Based on the principles of regenerative medicine, biological scaffolding has been around for over 40 years. As technology has developed, our understanding of cartilage cells has improved and our ability to create micro-structures has become possible. With the latest nano 3D printing techniques it is now possible to create structures smaller than cartilage cells. These structures can guide cell growth and even affect the way they develop.

Without a clear understanding of the foundation and how it interacts with cells, it is not possible to regenerate tissue. With the latest material within the scaffold, we can enhance the power of nature and direct the cells to do what we want them to. This is why biological scaffolding is a great option.

What Kind of Knee Conditions Can Scaffolding Be Used To Treat?

Biological scaffolds are of great use in combination with cell therapy, for example, the 5th generation of cartilage cell treatment, and autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI). It can be used to treat osteoarthritis, sports-related cartilage injury, and even meniscus injuries.

There are over 100 different types of biological scaffolds on the market, so it is important to understand which one to use for the condition at hand. It requires detailed biological understanding, not just a random choice based on the first page of results on a search engine.
