Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a hydrogel with a microfluidic channel, a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of tissue engineering. Background technique
[0002] Hydrogels with microchannel structures can play a very important role in the preparation of functional materials, as well as in the simulation and reconstruction of vascularized tissues in vitro. By fabricating suitable microchannel structures in hydrogels, it is possible to simulate the vasculature in organisms (such as blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, renal tubules, and plant ducts). This is also the basis for mimicking tissue function in vivo in vitro. In addition, microchannels in hydrogels can also be used to control the local physical and chemical properties of hydrogels. However, hydrogel is a kind of hydrophilic polymer material, and its unique physical and chemical properties determine that it is extremely difficult to construct the required mic...
