The need for standardization of fiber-based scaffolds was identified in 2019, during the workshop on Characterization of fiber-based scaffolds: challenges, progress and future directions.1. This workshop was initiated by a consortium of industry leaders such as Medtronic, academic institutes, non-profit organizations and government agencies. Following the consortium’s findings, a working group was formed, facilitated by […]
Carbon is vital for the existence of all living organisms, as it forms the basis of all organic molecules which, in turn, form the basis of all living things.
