title = "Cell-encapsulated 3D hydrogels with micro-pores and micro-channels",
abstract = "In this project, an approach for engineering microporous 3D cell-laden hydrogel scaffolds was developed to improve the physical properties of microfluidic hydrogels such as high diffusivity and permeability. To enhance the diffusivity of macromolecules with the hydrogels, micropores were engineered by dissolution of sugar crystals. Microengineered scaffolds offer several advantages such as enhanced diffusion which could be beneficial for long term cell-culturing. Furthermore, it provides space for the settlement and proliferation of cells. Finally, microengineered pores provide biomimetic conditions similar to natural and porous tissues.",
