In tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, the challenge is to provide the right support for peptide, protein and other biological macromolecule interaction – and contain the process in one place.

Evonik Health Care has made huge strides in providing manufacturers with new bioresorbable polymer options for constructing the scaffold upon which regenerative processes can unfold with pinpoint precision in the body. Once the regenerative momentum is robust enough, the scaffold degrades on a pre-programmed path to let cellular processes continue unimpeded.

Scaffolds can be shaped into microparticles, rods, fibers, meshes and virtually any three-dimensional form.
