3D printing is an additive manufacturing (AM) technique that has quickly disrupted traditional
design and manufacturing strategies. New structures can be manufactured that could not be …

Abstract Myelination of Schwann cells (SCs) is critical for the success of peripheral nerve
regeneration, and biomaterials that can promote SCs' neurotrophin secretion as scaffolds …

Highlights•Elastic materials can mechanically match the dynamic tissues found in the
vasculature.•Elastomers can be processed using different techniques such as casting or …

Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) printed scaffolds have great potential in biomedicine;
however, it is important that we are able to design such scaffolds with a range of diverse …

Polyester biomaterials are used in tissue engineering as scaffolds for implantation of tissues
developed in vitro. An ideal biodegradable elastomer for cardiac tissue engineering exhibits …

Biodegradable and biocompatible elastomers (bioelastomers) could resemble the
mechanical properties of extracellular matrix and soft tissues and, thus, are very useful for …

Thermoplastic elastomers are attractive materials because of the drastic changes in their
physical properties above and below the glass transition temperature (Tg). In this paper, we …

A novel photo-curable polyurethane resin for stereolithography has been demonstrated
herein. The resin was printed by stereolithography to form 3-dimensional elastomeric …

Thermoset elastomers represent a class of polymers for a wide range of biomedical
applications. Crosslinking density of thermoset elastomers is considered as an important …

Ideal scaffolds for tissue engineering should have the same characteristics and morphology
as the tissue. However, the microstructure of many native tissues has anisotropic …
