Scaffolds for tissue engineering should be biocompatible and stimulate rapid blood vessel ingrowth. Herein, we analyzed in vivo the biocompatibility and vascularization of three novel types of biodegradable porous polyurethane scaffolds. The polyurethane scaffolds, i.e., PU-S, PU-M and PU-F, were im

## Abstract A novel, nontoxic, biodegradable, spongeβlike polyurethane scaffold was synthesized from lysineβdiβisocyanate (LDI) and glycerol. Ascorbic acid (AA) was copolymerized with LDIβglycerol. Our hypothesis was that the AAβcontaining polymer foam would enhance the biological activity of the o
## Abstract Herein we report on the development and characterization of a biodegradable composite scaffold for ligament tissue engineering based on the fundamental morphological features of the native ligament. An aligned fibrous component was used to mimic the fibrous collagen network and a hydrog
