Cartilage tissue plays an important role in our life activities. The poor self-repair capacity makes cartilage tissue engineering an urgent clinical demand. Among them, the development of tissue engineering scaffolds with both biomimetic features and microenvironment signal sensing abilities could significantly promote the development of cartilage tissue engineering. While most of the reported cartilage scaffolds have no intelligent sensing features. Herein, a ternary composite 3D printing scaffold with both strain sensing ability and desired mechanical property was developed, by using regenerated silk fibroin (RSF) and polyacrylamide (PAM) as main matrixes, and oxidized bacterial cellulose nanofibers (OBC) as filler. Then, the…

Bone tissue plays an important role in supporting and protecting the structure and function of the human body. Bone defects are a common source of injury and there are many reconstruction challenges in clinical practice. However, 3D bioprinting of scaffolds provides a promising solution. Hydrogels have emerged as biomaterials with good biocompatibility and are now widely used as cell-loaded materials for bioprinting. This study involved three steps: First, sodium alginate (SA), gelatin (Gel), and nano-hydroxyapatite (na-HA) were mixed into a hydrogel and its rheological properties assessed to identify the optimum slurry for printing. Second, SA/Gel/na-HA bioscaffolds were printed using 3D…
