3D scaffolds have a wide range of applications both in vivo and in vitro. Collagen extracted from bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana) skin was selected as a possible cheap source of biomaterial in view of their biocompatibility and low risks of BSE and TSE transmissions. Natural polymers like collagen inher...
