In this work, a two component microgel assembly using soft anisometric microgels that interlink to create 3D macroporous construct for cell growth is reported. Reactive rods with variable aspect ratio are produced via microfluidics in continuous plug-flow on-chip gelation method by photoinitiated free-radical polymerization of star-polyethylene glycol-acrylate glycidyl methacrylate or 2-aminoethyl comonomers. The resulting complementary epoxy- and amine-functionalized assemble each other...
In this study, microvascular network structures for tissue engineering were generated on newly developed macroporous polydioxanone (PDO) scaffolds. PDO represents a polymer biodegradable within months and offers optimal material properties such as elasticity nontoxic degradation products. scaffolds prepared by porogen leaching cryo-dried to achieve pore sizes of 326 ± 149.67 μm remained stable with equivalent values Young's modulus after 4 weeks. Scaffolds coated fibrin cell adherence. To...
Rod-Shaped Microgels A two-component system consisting of microgel rods creates macroporous interlinked constructs for cell culture in 3D with pores up to several hundreds micrometers. The functionalized that interlink each other aqueous solutions without further additives are produced via microfluidics a continuous plug-flow on-chip gelation method.
