23 Jul A nanocapsule-assemble scaffold capable and manufacturing of the same
Abstract
This invention discloses a method to produce novel scaffolding materials with a nanostructure capable of delivering drug in well-controllable manner, or preferably, in a near zero-order kinetic for drug release, for tissue engineering applications. The said scaffold has a solid macroporous network that is constructed by assembly of nano-and/or microcapsules, wherein said capsules comprised single or multiple core and solid polymeric shell. Said core contains biologically or therapeutically active agent that is able to release outward said shell to provide vital active ingredient(s) for the growth, differentiation, and proliferation of specific cells attached on the macroporous scaffold for the production of engineered tissues.
