## Abstract Poor cell adhesion, cytotoxicity of degradation products and lack of biological signals for cell growth, survival, and tissue generation are the limitations in the use of a biodegradable polymer scaffold for vascular tissue engineering. We have fabricated a hybrid scaffold by integratin
## Abstract A series of elastic polymer and composite scaffolds for bone tissue engineering applications were designed. Two crosslinked copolymer matrices with 90/10 and 30/70 mol % of ϵ‐caprolactone (CL) and D,L‐lactide (DLLA) were prepared with porosities from 45 to 85 vol % and their mechanical
## Abstract Polyblend fibrous scaffolds in mass ratios of 100/0, 90/10, 80/20, and 70/30 from poly(L‐lactide) (PLLA) and poly(ϵ‐caprolactone) (PCL) for cartilage tissue engineering were prepared in three steps: gelation, solvent exchanging, and freeze‐drying. Effects of the blend ratio, the exchang
This study was aimed at evaluating the physico-chemical properties of a porous poly(3-caprolactone)/carbonated-apatite (PCL/CAp 30/70 w/w) composite to be used as scaffold for bone tissue engineering. The in vitro degradation mechanism of this matrix in different media was evaluated as well as its b
