Porous Alginate Scaffolds Designed by Calcium Carbonate Leaching Technique

Alena Wulf et al.

Summary: One of the main challenges in modern tissue engineering is designing biocompatible scaffolds with finely tuned porous architecture and the ability to load bioactive molecules that guide cell growth and differentiation. This study proposes a strategy to design porous alginate scaffolds by leaching sacrificial vaterite CaCO3 microspheres packed in alginate, resulting in well-tuned architecture. The pore size and interconnectivity of the scaffold depend on the dimensions and packing of the CaCO3 spheres, as well as the concentration of alginate. By varying these parameters, it is possible to achieve almost complete pore interconnectivity or no interconnectivity at all. The mechanical properties of the scaffolds are suitable for cell seeding, with the potential for encapsulation of macromolecules in individual pores to create a multifunctional scaffold. Culturing different cell lines on these scaffolds showed promising results in terms of cell viability and adhesiveness.
