Why is it important?
This research is the first of it kind where Tulbaghia violacea which is a plant rich in many bioactive compounds has been used in the development of plant-based scaffolds
Perspectives
This is one of the most influential research of 2020, which is working on tackling the current number one killer in the world, Cardiovascular diseases. We got to explore the impact of the addition of Tulbaghia violacea during scaffold fabrication has on the blood and the results obtained can be explored further for in vivo research
