Abstract
Porous scaffolds for tissue engineering applications consisting of hollow alginate fibers are presented. They are prepared using self-made shell/core nozzles and a 3D plotting device. Such materials open up the possibility to generate biodegradable tissue constructs with a preformed vascular system or can act as matrices for engineering of complex organs or 3D tissue models.
