Novel methodology based on biomimetic superhydrophobic substrates to immobilize cells in hydrogel spheres for tissue engineering applications

The low retention/integration of injected cells by host structures represents an important challenge in cell based therapies for regenerative medicine purposes. Cell immobilization in hydrogels for target cell delivery has been developed to circumvent this issue. However, the existing immobilization...
