Preparation of barley and yeast β-glucan scaffolds by hydrogel foaming: evaluation of dexamethasone release

Porous polymeric materials are studied in tissue engineering, because they can act as support for cell proliferation and as drug delivery vehicles for regeneration of tissues. Hydrogel foaming with supercritical CO2 is a suitable alternative for the creation of these structures, since it avoids the...
