On Different Approaches to Simulate the Mechanical Behavior of Scaffolds during Degradation

Only using biodegradable polymers is possible to develop new regenerative concepts for implantable biomedical devices, to be used in tissue engineering, where the biomaterials will temporarily replace the biomechanical functions, and these will be gradually transferred to the neo-tissue formed over...
