SCAFFOLD MATERIAL

摘要

To provide a scaffold having excellent mechanical strength and cell growth capability and is suitable for use as a cell culture medium or a prosthetic material. The present invention relates to a scaffold composed of an assembly of fibers and having a 3-D structure consisting of two end faces and a side face, wherein
(1) the fibers are aligned in a plane direction;
(2) the fibers have a diameter of 0.05 to 50 µm;
(3) the fibers are essentially composed of a biocompatible polymer; and
(4) the scaffold has an apparent density of 95 to 350 kg/m 3 .
