Polycaprolactone (PCL) is widely used in tissue engineering, primarily as a scaffold material to support cells and direct cellular ingrowth. However, native PCL is generally passive, and lack appropriate cues to direct cell response. This issue may be addressed by incorporating cell-instructive cues...
