Procedure for the fabrication of highly organized 3D alginate scaffolds using a microfluidic device: (a) Production of hollow alginate microparticles using a two-channel fluid jacket microencapsulator; (b) gelation of alginate microparticles by ionic cross-linking with calcium ions; (c) obtainment of gelated alginate scaffold; (d) obtainment of alginate scaffolds with interconnected pores after treatment in a vacuum system overnight, to remove air bubbles. Adapted from [66] (a,d) and [67] (b,c).
