	abstract = {<p>Meniscus tissue engineering can benefit from the use of highly developed scaffolds that are able to mimic the anatomy of this complex tissue, <em>i.e.</em> enable controlling the segmental vascularization during tissue regeneration. In this work, novel scaffolds were produced combining a porous silk polymeric matrix at 12 wt\% (silk-12) and the methacrylated gellan gum hydrogel (iGG-MA), which was previously shown to be non-angiogenic. A chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay was used to investigate the ability of the silk-12/iGG-MA scaffolds to control cell ingrowth, segmental vascularization, and innervations.</p>},
