In vitro degradation of thin films and tissue engineering scaffolds based on biodegradable polymers

This paper reports the in vitro degradation of three-dimensional, highly porous tissue engineering scaffolds and non-porous thin films based on poly (L-lactide) (PLLA) biopolymers. The tissue engineering scaffolds were produced through the emulsion freezing/freeze-drying technique. The nonporous thi...
