In a 2009 paper published in Nature Materials, Mooney demonstrated that this could be achieved by loading a porous scaffold — about the size of a dime — with tumor antigen as well as a combination of biological and chemical components meant to attract and activate dendritic cells.

Standard tissue engineering involves seeding types of cells, such as those that form ear cartilage, onto a scaffold of a polymer material called a hydrogel.

Traditional hydrogels made up of either synthetic polymers or natural biomolecules often serve as passive scaffolds for molecular or cellular species, which render these materials unable to fully recapitulate the dynamic signaling involved in biological processes, such as cell / tissue development.

The «parts list» in these processes is similar: Microtubules, semi-rigid tubes of protein, can serve within the cell as scaffolding, roadways, and a building material for machinery; some proteins serve as fasteners, binding and releasing other materials; and motor proteins use chemical energy to push and pull materials along microtubules, or move the microtubules themselves.

By tuning the material's X-ray absorption, researchers can now use X-ray-computed tomography as a diagnostic tool to image the inside of parts without cutting them open or to investigate 3D - printed objects embedded inside the body, such as stents, joint replacements or bone scaffolds.
