Investigation of the in vitro and in vivo biocompatibility of a three-dimensional printed Thermoplastic Polyurethane/Polylactic Acid blend for the development of Tracheal Scaffolds

Tissue-engineered polymeric implants are preferable because they do not cause a significant inflammatory reaction in the surrounding tissue. Three-dimensional (3D) technology can be used to fabricate a customised scaffold, which is critical for implantation. This study aimed to investigate the bioco...
