Tissue Integration and Degradation of a Porous Collagen-Based Scaffold Used for Soft Tissue Augmentation

Collagen-based scaffolds hold great potential for tissue engineering, since they closely mimic the extracellular matrix. We investigated tissue integration of an engineered porous collagen-elastin scaffold developed for soft tissue augmentation. After implantation in maxillary submucosal pouches in...
