Glossaryscaffolds

structures supporting cell growth and tissue formation

In the context of hair and biology, scaffolds refer to structures made from biocompatible materials that provide a supportive framework for cells to grow and form new tissues. These scaffolds can be used in regenerative medicine to help repair or replace damaged tissues, including hair follicles, by mimicking the natural extracellular matrix and promoting cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation.
