Fundamental study of the effect of plasma penetration on cell-material interaction for scaffolds

In tissue engineering, 3D artificial porous scaffolds are used to generate biocompatible constructs to replace damaged tissues. Plasma technology is a sustainable and innovative alternative for wet-chemical surface modification capable of penetrating into porous scaffolds. By the combination of high throughput, sensitive cell/biomaterial analysis techniques with state-of-the-art plasma surface modification technology, our aim is to fundamentally understand cell-material interactions.
