Data originating from a broad spectrum of work considering the lyophilisation of collagen based scaffolds for tissue engineering applications. A paper focusing on the feasiblity of the production of collagen-fibrinogen scaffolds and an investigation of the specific biological effect of the fibrinogen additions. The raw data is included for the quantitative pore analysis using micro-CT, cell adhesion and cell spreading. For access to any of the images from which these data were collected please contact the author.
