Description
Jae-Uk Song, Jae-Hyung Park, and Young-Hag Koh made aligned porous scaffolds from soybean oil resin in a 2026 paper. The resin, made from epoxidized soybean oil, is plant-based, body-friendly, and degrades safely, with a shape-memory bonus. Porous scaffolds from it could regrow tissue, but getting the pores highly connected has been the hard part.
Their recipe cures the resin with light while terpene additives act as pore formers that leave on heating. The pores line up in ranks and interconnect, so cells and fluids can move through. Connected aligned pores mimic the grain of real tissues like tendon and nerve. The work advances green, printable materials for regenerative medicine.
