Abstract
A strategy for the preparation of porous structures for tissue engineering by using co-extrusion was proposed.

The selective dissolution of the water soluble Polyethylene oxide) allows reaching a porous material. Current work is aimed to define a methodology which enables to confer a preferential orientation of pores In order to develop highly complex structural systems to apply in tissue engineering field for the regeneration of highly oriented tissues as nerves and musclesI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
