Tissue engineering constitutes a combination of biochemical and physicochemical factors, together with cells to ensure either an improvement or total replacement of biological tissue. Central to the above process is the scaffolding of tissues. This helps in forming a supporting system for the damaged cells or organs, hence, aiding recovery ( Das & Liu, 2011) . One of the most recent advancements in the field of tissue engineering is the discovery of the possibility of plasma protein being useful in the formation of wound scaffolds.
According to recent findings by researchers led by Dorothea Brüggemann who is a professor in the University of Bremen, existing methods of making cell culture by using fibrinogen result in destroying the properties of fibrinogen, hence affecting the functioning of the tissues. Research to find out a way to deal with the problem led to the discovery of a method of putting together fibrinogen to ensure dense assemblage of 3 D scaffolds without the use of organic solvents or techniques that require the use of enzymes. Biofabrication here is achieved by varying the amount of fibrinogen used, PH, as well as the concentration of the salt, used (Stapelfeldt et al., 2019).

According to II Corinthians 5:17, an individual who abides by God’s teaching is renewed in spirit and his or her old ways done away with ( "Bible Gateway passage: 2 Corinthians 5:17 - New International Version", 2011) . The possibility of using Plasma protein in making scaffolds relate to this in that when an individual has a wound, the proper functioning of cells such as white blood cells is significantly derailed. The use of scaffolds does away with such a situation and hence is therapeutic. In the same way, when one’s old ways are done away with by the help of the Holy Spirit, a person is redeemed from ungodly ways and his or her power to be in fellowship with God is regenerated.
