Tissue Engineering Scaffolding.

Step-by-step explanation

Tissue Engineering Scaffolds are very crucial in regenerative medicine.

Regenerative medicine relies heavily on the use of stem cells. Given that the body's autoimmune system is crafted to reject foreign material, scaffolds create a 'trusting' environment for stem cells to adapt and differentiate into the structure they are engineered to replace or repair without being jettisoned by the body's defence system.
