Porosity can be viewed as a profound concept that helps us to understand nature and create
advanced structures. There are some interesting examples in nature, such as hollow …

Polymeric in situ forming depots have emerged as highly promising drug delivery systems
for long-acting applications. Their effectiveness is attributed to essential characteristics such …

Emulsion templating presently extends far beyond the original hydrophobic porous polymers
that were synthesized within surfactant-stabilized water-in-oil high internal phase emulsions …

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 …

Porous materials are currently of great scientific as well as technological interest. A strategy
that is increasingly employed to prepare highly porous and well defined macroporous …

Recently, a series of new monomers and polymerization mechanisms has been applied to
the templating of high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) providing a route to hierarchically …

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

The development of novel three-dimensional cell culture platforms for the culture of aortic
valvular interstitial cells (VICs) has been fraught with many challenges. Although the most …

Gelatin is a very promising matrix material for in vitro cell culture and tissue engineering, eg
due to its native RGD content. For the generation of medical soft tissue implants chemical …
