Polyacylurethanes as Novel Degradable Cell Carrier Materials for Tissue Engineering

Polyacylurethanes as Novel Degradable Cell Carrier Materials for Tissue Engineering

Polycaprolactone (PCL) polyester and segmented aliphatic polyester urethanes based on PCL soft segment have been thoroughly investigated as biodegradable scaffolds for tissue engineering. Although proven beneficial as long term implants, these materials degrade very slowly and are therefore not suit...
