Ensuring good definition of scaffolds used for 3D cell culture is a prominent challenge that hampers the development of tissue engineering platforms. Since dextran repels cell adhesion, using dextran-based materials biofunctionalized through a bottom-up approach allows for precise control over material definition. Here, we report the design of dextran hydrogels displaying a fully interconnected macropore network for the culture of vascular spheroids .

Macroporous hydrogels possess a vast potential for various applications in the biomedical field. However, due to their large pore size allowing for unrestricted diffusion in the macropore network, macroporous hydrogels alone are not able to efficiently capture and release biomolecules in a controlled manner. There is thus a need for biofunctionalized, affinity-based gels that can efficiently load and release biomolecules in a sustained and controlled manner.
