“…The process, allows for control of pore size, density, and morphology 17,20. Highly interconnected pores (>85%21) provide suitable mass transport where cells have constant access to nutrients, gases, and waste management, reducing cell death and increasing viability,35 avoiding mass transfer restrictions,36 where diffusion of nutrients, and oxygen are promoted by the scaffold structure. The presence of LC moieties promote cell attachment and proliferation, as well as orientation and anisotropic cell growth,19 allowing the creation of neural networks in organized patterns to serve specific functions and that mimicking endogenous systems.…”
