A recent study conducted at Sechenov University in Moscow, Russia, has focused on tissue engineering and the use of collagen scaffolds. Collagen is considered a promising material for scaffold production due to its biocompatibility and biodegradability. However, current imaging techniques for visualizing cells within collagen scaffolds have limitations. The researchers developed a novel method using X-ray computed microtomography (micro-CT) and a 3% aqueous phosphotungstic acid solution to visualize the pores and patterns of cell growth in collagen scaffolds. This method allows for accurate segmentation and visualization of porous collagen scaffolds under aqueous conditions, which is important for studying the native structure of samples.
