A polymeric scaffold for guiding the cell growth is designed and fabricated, which could be useful for the tissue engineering (TE) of tubular organs including esophagi, blood vessels, and tracheas. This tubular scaffold was fabricated via a melt-drawing of highly elastic poly(Llactide- co-ε-caprolac...
