Abstract: The disclosure provides a bread-derived scaffold biomaterial for supporting cells, the scaffold comprising a bread crumb and wherein the bread crumb comprises a three-dimensional porous structure to support the cells. Further provided is a use of the scaffold and a method of making same.

Abstract: Provided herein are scaffold biomaterials comprising a decellularised fungal tissue from which cellular materials and nucleic acids of the tissue are removed, the decellularised fungal tissue comprising a cellulose- or chitin-based 3-dimensional porous structure. Methods for preparing such scaffold biomaterials, as well as uses thereof as an implantable scaffold for supporting animal cell growth, for promoting tissue regeneration, for promoting angiogenesis, for a tissue replacement procedure, and/or as a structural implant for cosmetic surgery are also provided. Therapeutic treatment and/or cosmetic methods employing such scaffolds are additionally described.
