3D Bioplotter Research Papers

Introduction Since 3D printing can be used to design implants according to the specific conditions of patients, it has become an emerging technology in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. How to improve the mechanical, elastic and adhesion properties of 3D-printed photocrosslinked hydrogels is the focus of cartilage tissue repair and reconstruction research. Materials and Methods We established a strategy for toughening hydrogels by mixing GelMA-DOPA (GD), which is prepared by coupling dopamine (DA) with GelMA, with HAMA, bacterial cellulose (BC) to produce composite hydrogels (HB–GD). HB–GD hydrogel scaffolds were characterized in vitro by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Young’s modulus, swelling…
