Abstract

Statement of Purpose: The clinical success of tissue engineering approaches is currently limited to acellular, thin, or small scaffolds. One reason for this is the limited O2 supply when cells are implanted, which can result in the formation of necrotic regions due to anoxia in large 3D scaffolds. Our group previously demonstrated a facile method to deliver O2 to cells using scaffolds containing polymeric microparticles, called μtanks, that are hyperbarically loaded with O2. In this study, we demonstrate the ability to fabricate biodegradable μtanks, 3D-print μtank scaffolds with tunable O2 release, and demonstrate that these materials enhance osteogenesis.
