Abstract
Biomaterial implants and methods for facilitating tissue repair and regeneration are provided herein. The implants may include organized hydrogel structures. Such implants are fabricated using a 2-phase polymerization technique, wherein hydrogel-based microspheres are formed as an intermediate product of the 2-phase polymerization technique. The implants of various embodiments provide an aligned substrate to guide tissue regeneration and can be cut or formed to conform to the size and shape of an injury.
