The phrase "functional scaffolds" is correct and usable in written English.
It is often used to describe a structure or system that provides guidance or support in order to facilitate learning and the successful completion of a task. For example, "The teacher provided a series of functional scaffolds to help the students master the new math concept."
This novel functionalized system offers complex functional scaffolds with tight control over morphology and biochemistry, and with the potential to engineer cell cultures, cell therapy delivery systems, and tissue matrices that closely reflect the in vivo environment and thereby enhance cell performance.
Therefore, these new functional scaffolds might hold potential for osteochondral tissue engineering applications.
A tissue engineering approach using advanced functional scaffolds may provide a clinically acceptable alternative.
The fabrication of biomaterials which serve as functional scaffolds exhibiting diversified effects has been valued.
Here, functional scaffolds delivering therapeutics are reviewed in terms of their controlled release and healing capabilities.
TGF-β3 encapsulated PLCL scaffolds would be useful as functional scaffolds for cartilage tissue engineering.
We sought to develop a functional scaffold to sustain the structure and function of islets as well as to recover some of the surface molecules damaged during isolation, seeking to improve islet transplantation outcomes.
However, high hydrophobicity of PCL limits use of functional scaffold.
The network of mesenchymal stromal cells supports the tissue structures as a functional scaffold.
We here propose a method for the site-specific assembly of proteins on a twigged streptavidin (SA) polymer using streptavidin as a functional scaffold.
Biological validation of the resultant optimized functional scaffold, using rat bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells, shows appreciable cell infiltration throughout the scaffold with enhanced cell spreading at 24 h post-seeding.
