A bioinspired scaffold for rapid oxygenation of cell encapsulation systems
Cell encapsulation into biomaterials for transplantation is currently limited by inadequate oxygenation. Here the authors present a biomimetic scaffold featuring internal continuous air channels endowed with 10,000-fold higher O2 diffusivity than hydrogels and demonstrate correction of diabetes in i...
