3D bioprinting of thick core–shell vascularized scaffolds for potential tissue engineering applications
The promise of tissue engineering in developing functional, living, 3D thick structures has been limited due to the constraints of nutrient and oxygen delivery through diffusion. Although advancements in additive manufacturing approaches have enhanced the fidelity and complexity of 3D (bio)printed constructs, the vascularization of such scaffolds is less investigated. Here, we have leveraged extrusion-based 3D bioprnting of core/shell constructs to develop millimeter-thick scaffolds with embedded microvasculature for potential soft tissue repair. Composites of methacrylated gelatin (GelMA) and gelatin have been used for this purpose. A systematic approach was used to investigate the effect of parameters, such as material and photoinitiator concentrations, and photocuring time, on the properties of constructs. Results have shown the structures have Young’s modulus close to the soft tissues. 3D bioprinting parameters were optimized so that the printing and photo crosslinking procedures did not negatively affect the cell viability. It was also observed that a continuous hollow inner core could be successfully printed within the scaffolds, which upon incorporation of endothelial cells during the 3D bioprinting process, could form micro-vessels embedded in the constructs. Together, our results demonstrate the significant potential of the proposed approach for developing thick vascularized tissue-engineered scaffolds suitable for soft tissue engineering.
期刊介绍:
European Polymer Journal is dedicated to publishing work on fundamental and applied polymer chemistry and macromolecular materials. The journal covers all aspects of polymer synthesis, including polymerization mechanisms and chemical functional transformations, with a focus on novel polymers and the relationships between molecular structure and polymer properties. In addition, we welcome submissions on bio-based or renewable polymers, stimuli-responsive systems and polymer bio-hybrids. European Polymer Journal also publishes research on the biomedical application of polymers, including drug delivery and regenerative medicine. The main scope is covered but not limited to the following core research areas:
Polymer synthesis and functionalization
• Novel synthetic routes for polymerization, functional modification, controlled/living polymerization and precision polymers.
Stimuli-responsive polymers
• Including shape memory and self-healing polymers.
Supramolecular polymers and self-assembly
• Molecular recognition and higher order polymer structures.
Renewable and sustainable polymers
• Bio-based, biodegradable and anti-microbial polymers and polymeric bio-nanocomposites.
Polymers at interfaces and surfaces
• Chemistry and engineering of surfaces with biological relevance, including patterning, antifouling polymers and polymers for membrane applications.
Biomedical applications and nanomedicine
• Polymers for regenerative medicine, drug delivery molecular release and gene therapy
The scope of European Polymer Journal no longer includes Polymer Physics.
