## Abstract **Summary:** A novel process was developed to fabricate biodegradable polymer scaffolds for tissue engineering applications, without using organic solvents. Solvent residues in scaffolds fabricated by processes involving organic solvents may damage cells transplanted onto the scaffolds
## Abstract Tissue compatibility of chitosan–alginate scaffolds was studied __in vitro__ in terms of cell morphology, proliferation, and functionality using HTB‐94 cells. The scaffold has an interconnected 3D porous structure, and was fabricated by thermally induced phase separation followed by fre
## Abstract ## Objectives/Hypothesis: Donor site morbidity, including pneumothorax, can be a considerable problem when harvesting cartilage grafts for laryngotracheal reconstruction (LTR). Tissue engineered cartilage may offer a solution to this problem. This study investigated the feasibility of
## Abstract The aim of this study was to determine the suitability of hybrid scaffolds composed of naturally derived biopolymer gels and macroporous poly‐ϵ‐caprolactone (PCL) scaffolds for neocartilage formation __in vitro__. Rabbit articular chondrocytes were seeded into PCL/HA (1 wt % hyaluronan)
## Abstract The successful replacement of large‐scale cartilage defects or osteoarthritic lesions using tissue‐engineering approaches will likely require composite biomaterial scaffolds that have biomimetic mechanical properties and can provide cell‐instructive cues to control the growth and differ
