Adv Healthc Mater. 2016 Mar;5(6):648-52, 626. doi: 10.1002/adhm.201500707. Epub 2016 Feb 1.

Abstract

An aligned hydrogel with tunable macropore size via hot ice template is described, which exhibits a high porosity, large pore size, easily modified surface, high survival rate as well as a linear arrangement of NIH3T3 cells.

Keywords: aligned structure; bioscaffold; crystallization; hydrogel.
