This paper describes methods for creating porous scaffold materials for use in tissue engineering through freeze-extraction and freeze-gelation techniques. Freeze-extraction involves freezing a polymer solution and then extracting the frozen solvent to create pores, while freeze-gelation gels a polymer solution during freezing to generate a porous structure upon thawing. The authors prepared various scaffolds using these methods and discuss their potential applications in regenerative medicine.
