Resumen:
Tissue engineering comprises the use of manufactured three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds to provide a suitable microenvironment for the incorporation of cells and growth factors to regenerate damaged tissues or organs. These scaffolds intend to mimic the actual in vivo microenvironment where cells interact and behave according to the molecular and mechanical cues from the surrounding 3D environment. Hence, cellular response depends to a great extent on the properties of their materials. These 3D scaffolds are generally highly porous with interconnected pore networks to facilitate nutrient and oxygen diffusion as well as waste removal1,2. For all these reasons, the aim of this work is to fabricate bioresorbable scaffolds by fused deposition modelling (FDM) using filaments obtained by extrusion of segmented polyesterurethanes (SPU).
