This DiB article contains data related to the research article entitled “Cellular responses to thermoresponsive stiffness memory elastomer nanohybrid scaffolds by 3D-TIPS” (Wu et al., 2018). Thermoresponsive poly (urea-urethane) nanohybrid elastomer (PUU-POSS) scaffolds were implanted in rats for up to 3 months. The porous structure and tensile mechanical properties of the scaffolds are listed and compared before and after in vitro and in vivo tests. The details of the histological analysis of the explants with different initial stiffness and porous structures at various time points are presented. The images and data presented support the conclusion about the coupled effects of stiffness softening and the hierarchical porous structure modulating tissue ingrowth, vascularization and macrophage polarization in the article (Wu et al., 2018).
