This paper uses homogenization techniques to model the mechanical properties of a hydrogel-filled scaffold for cardiac tissue engineering and predicts its impact on ventricular function.

This study examines how tissue ingrowth affects the mechanical properties of electrospun polyurethane scaffolds, finding reduced stiffness in the fiber direction and increased stiffness transversely.

This study compares biostable and degradable electrospun polyester-urethane scaffolds, showing that the degradable scaffold maintains consistent mechanical properties after 14 days of in vivo implantation.
