## Abstract Ideally, rationally designed tissue engineering scaffolds promote natural wound healing and regeneration. Therefore, we sought to synthesize a biomimetic hydrogel specifically designed to promote tissue repair and chose hyaluronic acid (HA; also called hyaluronan) as our initial materia
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
