Abstract https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmbbm.2024.106783 Extrusion-based 3D printing methods have great potential for manufacturing of personalized polymer-based drug-releasing systems. However, traditional melt-based extrusion techniques are often unsuitable for processing thermally labile molecules. Consequently, methods that utilize the extrusion of semi-solid inks under mild conditions are frequently employed. The rheological properties of the semi-solid

Our study focuses on enhancing mechanical properties using a solvent-cast 3D printing method. For this, poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL) reinforced with polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), and synthetic fluorapatite (FHAp) nanopowders were utilized, immersed in a solution of

Abstract https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10911-024-09557-1 The three-dimensional (3D) structure of the ductal epithelium and the surrounding extracellular matrix (ECM) are integral aspects of the breast tissue, and they have important roles during mammary gland development, function and malignancy. However, the architecture of the branched mammary epithelial network is poorly recapitulated in the current

Immobilisation of cells is an effective technique for enhancing productivity and longevity of the production system, as well as aiding in the separation of cells from the medium. Alginate

Abstract https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/adfm.202400431 Aqueous two-phase emulsion (ATPE)-based bioinks, a creative innovation for bioprinting, enable the fabrication of complex 3D cell-laden hydrogels with macroporous structure, which promote cellular activities within the scaffold. However, these bioinks intrinsically lack stability and specific biofunctionality, potentially limiting their application for targeted tissue engineering. This study proposes

Abstract https://pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/ArticleLanding/2024/MA/D4MA00273C This study describes the development of bioadhesive hydrogels as biomaterial inks, which combine catechol chemistry and metal coordination using gallic acid and hyaluronic acid. By controlling the phase of gelation, the properties of hydrogels can be modulated through pH and Fe3+ ion concentrations, thus allowing for diverse coordination states
