THREE DIMENSIONAL SOY PROTEIN-CONTAINING SCAFFOLDS AND METHODS FOR THEIR USE AND PRODUCTION

摘要

Porous soy protein-based scaffolds and methods for making the scaffolds using 3D printing techniques are provided. Also provided are tissue growth scaffolds comprising the porous soy protein-based scaffolds and methods for growing tissue on the tissue growth scaffolds. The porous soy protein-containing scaffold comprises a plurality of layers configured in a vertical stack, each layer comprising a plurality of strands comprising denatured soy proteins.
