Probiotics are a promising prevention and treatment strategy for several diseases, such as
inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), atopic diseases, acute …

There exists a technological need for advanced materials with improved properties for
emerging biomedical applications. Recent developments in macroporous materials have …

Tissue engineering (TE) aims to regenerate critical size defects, which cannot heal naturally,
by using highly porous matrices called TE scaffolds made of biocompatible and …

Mimicking natural tissue structure is crucial for engineered tissues with intended
applications ranging from regenerative medicine to biorobotics. Native tissues are highly …

PolyHIPEs are porous emulsion-templated polymers synthesized within high internal phase
emulsions (HIPEs). HIPEs are highly viscous, paste-like emulsions in which the …

This paper presents a novel approach toward the production of hybrid alginate–lignin
aerogels. The key idea of the approach is to employ pressurized carbon dioxide for gelation …

Alginates comprise a unique–and at the same time-diverse family of polysaccharides that
allows fabrication of a variety of biomaterials suitable for tissue engineering. This is reflected …

Scaffolds are used in tissue engineering as a matrix for the seeding and attachment of
human cells. The creation of porosity in three-dimensional (3D) structures of scaffolds plays …

This review presents and critically evaluates recent advances in non-conventional gelation
method of native alginate. A special focus is given to the following three methods: cryotropic …

Macroporous gels find application in several scientific fields, ranging from art restoration to
wastewater filtration or cell entrapment. In this work, two-component sponge-like cryogels …
