This article, published in MedComm Biomaterials and Applications, provides evidence of standardizing 3D printing parameters to control scaffold pore size and shape, surface characteristics ...

To do this, scaffolding materials need to mimic the natural spinal cord tissue, ... Even though both materials had the same average pore size and chemical composition, ...

Spinal cord injuries can be life-changing and alter many important neurological functions. Unfortunately, clinicians have relatively few tools to help patients regain lost functions.

The resulting structures, collected on the drum surface, were macroscopically aerated to form pores twice as large as those produced by older techniques. The highly porous matrices allowed a swift and ...
