The Bayesian optimized deep learning (BO-DL) method yielded the highest prediction accuracy (<i>R</i><sup><i>2</i></sup> = 0.93). Notably, the BO-DL method is no longer limited to a single HEA system and now can target different alloy systems composed of more elements with reliable prediction results.

The results demonstrated that the physico-chemical and mechanical properties of the GelMA were similar using LAP and TPO nanoparticles (NP) for crosslinking. The significant cytotoxicity observed in cells exposed to the GelMA with TPO NP suggests that cell-embedded bioprinting may not be feasible and that removal of toxicant may be needed to utilize GelMA scaffolds crosslinked with TPO NP for biological applications.
