Moreover, the released Ag<sup>+</sup> in response to H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> can disturb bioenergy metabolism to inhibit tumor proliferation, which further enhances the tumor-killing effect in hypoxic microenvironments.

On the other hand, volumetric tissues (larger than a few millimeters in all dimensions), which are highly desirable for clinical utility, suffer from poor oxygen supply due to limited dimensional diffusion. Notably, large, complex tissues typically require a vascular network to supply the growing cells with nutrients for metabolic demands to prolong viability and support tissue formation. In recognition, extensive efforts have been made to create vascular-like networks in order to facilitate mass exchange through volumetric scaffolds.
