Degradation Modeling Research of Biodegradable Tissue Engineering Scaffold

Abstract

Although the degradation modeling of tissue engineering scaffold is in its initial step, it can direct the design, optimization of scaffold and help the application in medical case of illness. This paper analyzes the modeling methods and gives the speciality of every model which is put forward by researchers in China and abroad about the degradation of tissue engineering scaffold. These models are divided into micro scale, macro scale and two scale models based on the modeling scales. The recent research is belonging to single scale modeling. Some researchers abroad probed to two scale modeling. The future model is prospected in multi scale coupling macro, micro, and meta-macro model.
