| abstract |
The present invention provides a multilayer scaffold for tissue engineering. The scaffold comprises at least a first layer comprised of a polymer having a pattern of microchannels therein; and at least a second layer comprised of a polymer having a pattern of microchannels therein. The first and second layers are joined together (preferably by lamination) and the channels are connected for the circulation of fluid through the layers. The scaffold is coated with bacterial cellulose. The scaffold may further include a mammalian cell. |
