Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention are directed to microscale and millimeter scale tissue scaffolding structures that may be static or expandable and which may be formed of biocompatible metals or other materials that may be coated to become biocompatible. Scaffold structures may include features for holding desired biological or physiological materials to enhance selected tissue growth. Scaffolding devices may be formed by multi-layer, multi-material electrochemical fabrication methods.
