3D Printed VEGF-CPO Biomaterial Scaffold to Promote Subcutaneous Vascularization and Survival of Transplanted Islets for the Treatment of Diabetes

Investigators utilized biocompatible copolymers of L-lactide and D,L-lactide to manufacture a biomaterial scaffold with a mesh-like structure via 3D printing technology, providing a material foundation for encapsulating pancreatic islet cells.
