Iranian Researchers Develop 3D Scaffold to Speed up Tissue Growth

The company, which works in the fields of services, ideas, design, consultation, and production of engineering nanocoatings, recently succeeded in producing a unique product called ‘scaffold’ which is suitable for building three-dimensional tissue.

The scaffold is a three-dimensional substrate and it serves as a template for tissue regeneration.

Three-dimensional scaffolds are typically porous, biocompatible, and biodegradable materials that serve to provide suitable microenvironments for optimal cell growth and function.

Thanks to their unique mechanical, optical, hydrophobic, hydrophilic, corrosion, and electrical properties, these coatings provide wide applications in petrochemical, oil and gas, and automotive industries.

The researchers created an engineered nanostructure with the physical vapor deposition (PVD) coating method on a glass slide, which as a scaffold provides the conditions for cell growth and tissue formation.

Due to their special morphology of cavities and roughness, these scaffolds provide the possibility of better feeding of cells and their adhesion, and as a result, with the proliferation and growth of cells, their colonization takes place.

The product can be used in medical treatment centers, research centers, pathological centers, hospitals, surgery departments, cell transplant, and study centers, laboratories, as well as pharmaceutical research centers.

Tissue engineering can be used to regenerate, preserve, or improve the condition of damaged body parts or tissues.

Achieving such technical knowledge by this company can be very important considering that economic activities in this area are growing exponentially.
