Rheological studies were conducted to evaluate the printability of CMC/Gel/GO inks, which revealed that CMC increased viscosity and enhanced printability. The 3D-printed cardiac patches were crosslinked with N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-n'-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC)/N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) (100:20 mM, 50:10 mM, 25:5 mM) and then characterized by mechanical analysis, electrical conductivity testing, contact angle measurements and degradation studies. Subsequently, cell culture studies were conducted to evaluate the viability of H9C2 cardiomyoblast cells by using the Alamar Blue assay and fluorescence imaging. A high concentration of EDC/NHS (100:20 mM) led to the stability of the patches; however, it drastically reduced the flexibility of the scaffolds. Conversely, a concentration of 25:5 mM resulted in flexible but unstable scaffolds in phosphate buffer saline solution. The suitable EDC/NHS concentration was found to be 50:10 mM, as it produced flexible, stable, and stiff cardiac scaffolds with high ultimate tensile strength. Mechanical characterization revealed that % strain at break of C15/G7.5/GO1 exhibited a remarkable increase of 61.03% compared to C15/G7.5 samples. The improvement of flexibility was attributed to the hydrogen bonding between CMC, Gel and GO.

Compared to other extrusion processes, EMB3D enables softer structures and print paths that conform better to the shape of the part, allowing for complex structures such as tissues and organs. However, strategies for high-quality dimensional accuracy and mechanical properties remain undocumented in EMB3D. This work uses computational fluid dynamics simulations in OpenFOAM to probe the underlying physics behind two processes: deformation of the printed part due to nearby nozzle motion and fusion between neighboring filaments during printing. Through simulations, we disentangle yielding from viscous dissipation, and we isolate interfacial tension effects from rheology effects, which are difficult to separate in experiments. Critically, these simulations find that disturbance and fusion are controlled by the flow of support fluid around the nozzle. To avoid part deformation, the nozzle must remain far from existing parts during non-printing moves, moreso when traveling next to the part than above the part and especially when the interfacial tension between the ink and support is non-zero. Additionally, because support can become trapped between filaments at zero interfacial tension, the spacing between filaments must be tight enough to produce over-printing, or printing too much material for the designed space. In non-Newtonian fluids, spacings for vertical walls must be even tighter than spacings for horizontal planes. At these spacings, printing a new filament sometimes creates and sometimes mitigates shape defects in the old filament. While non-zero ink-support interfacial tensions produce better inter-filament fusion than zero interfacial tension, interfacial tension also produces shape defects.

A desirable<i>in vitro</i>bone model should incorporate primary human cells within a 3D environment that mimics the mechanical properties characteristics of osteoid and faithfully replicate all stages of osteogenic differentiation from osteoblasts to osteocytes. However, to date, no bio-printed model using primary osteoblasts has demonstrated the expression of osteocytic protein markers. This study aimed to develop bio-printed<i>in vitro</i>model that accurately captures the differentiation process of human primary osteoblasts into osteocytes. Given the considerable impact of hydrogel stiffness and relaxation behavior on osteoblast activity, we employed three distinct cross-linking solutions to fabricate hydrogels. These hydrogels were designed to exhibit either similar elastic behavior with different elastic moduli, or similar elastic moduli with varying relaxation behavior. These hydrogels, composed of gelatin (5% w/v), alginate (1%w/v) and fibrinogen (2%w/v), were designed to be compatible with micro-extrusion bioprinting and proliferative. The modulation of their biomechanical properties, including stiffness and viscoelastic behavior, was achieved by applying various concentrations of cross-linkers targeting both gelatin covalent bonding (transglutaminase) and alginate chains' ionic cross-linking (calcium). Among the conditions tested, the hydrogel with a low elastic modulus of 8 kPa and a viscoelastic behavior over time exhibited promising outcomes regarding osteoblast-to-osteocyte differentiation. The cessation of cell proliferation coincided with a significant increase in alkaline phosphatase activity, the development of dendrites, and the expression of the osteocyte marker PHEX. Within this hydrogel, cells actively influenced their environment, as evidenced by hydrogel contraction and the secretion of collagen I.

Although various potent antibiotics have emerged in recent decades, current challenges arise from the increasing number of multi-drug-resistant species. Infections associated with implants represent a particular challenge because they are usually diagnosed at an advanced stage and are difficult to treat with antibiotics owing to the formation of protective biofilms. In this study, we designed and explored a synthetic biology-inspired cell-based biosensor/actor for the detection and counteraction of bacterial infections. The system is generic, as it senses diverse types of infections and acts by enhancing the endogenous immune system. This strategy is based on genetically engineered sensor/actor cells that can sense type I interferons (IFNs), which are released by immune cells at the early stages of infection. IFN signalling activates a synthetic circuit to induce reporter genes with a sensitivity of only 5 pg ml<sup>-1</sup>of IFN and leads to a therapeutic protein output of 100 ng ml<sup>-1</sup>, resulting in theranostic cells that can visualize and fight infections. Robustness and resilience were achieved by implementing a positive feedback loop. We showed that diverse gram-positive and gram-negative implant-associated pathogenic bacteria activate the cascade in co-culture systems in a dose-dependent manner.
