Dual-Stage Crosslinking of a Gel-Phase Bioink Improves Cell Viability and Homogeneity for 3D Bioprinting

Current bioinks for cell‐based 3D bioprinting are not suitable for technology scale‐up due to the challenges of cell sedimentation, cell membrane damage, and cell dehydration. A novel bioink hydrogel is presented with dual‐stage crosslinking specifically designed to overcome these three major hurdle...

Zusammenfassung:Current bioinks for cell‐based 3D bioprinting are not suitable for technology scale‐up due to the challenges of cell sedimentation, cell membrane damage, and cell dehydration. A novel bioink hydrogel is presented with dual‐stage crosslinking specifically designed to overcome these three major hurdles. This bioink enables the direct patterning of highly viable, multicell type constructs with long‐term spatial fidelity.
