支架材料是组织工程三大要素之一,始终是研究的重点和热点。合适的支架材料必须具有与组织形成相匹配的降解速率。因此,有效监测支架材料降解的技术是该领域亟待解决的问题。我们回顾了近年来对支架材料降解监测的相关研究,对各种监测方法的原理、优缺点进行综述,以期为探索理想的监测方法提供思路。

Biodegradable scaffolds as one of the three main factors in tissue engineering, play an important role in tissue regeneration. An ideal scaffold material must have appropriate degradation rate that could match the forming rate of tissue regeneration process. However, how to monitor the degradation of scaffold materials has been a great challenge in this field. In this paper, the latest literature about monitoring of scaffold degradation in tissue engineering was reviewed. The principle of each method as well as their advantages and disadvantages were summarized and the potential methods were discussed.
