Void‐Free 3D Bioprinting for In Situ Endothelialization and Microfluidic Perfusion

Abstract: Two major challenges of 3D bioprinting are the retention of structural fidelity and efficient endothelialization for tissue vascularization. Both of these issues are addressed by introducing a versatile 3D bioprinting strategy, in which a templating bioink is deposited layer-by-layer alongside a matrix bioink to establish void-free multimaterial structures. After crosslinking the matrix phase, the templating phase is sacrificed to create a well-defined 3D network of interconnected tubular channels. This void-f… Show more

“…The only classes of biomaterials that should pose difficulties are those that cannot be made miscible with gelatin and those that rely on an opposing thermal gelation (e.g., poloxamer 407). We have also used a very standard thermal extrusion–based approach that is compatible with existing 3D bioprinting methods ( 11 , 23 , 29 ). Together, these design factors should enable complementary network bioinks to find broad applicability across different biomaterial systems and 3D printing protocols, and provide new opportunities for biofabrication and tissue engineering.…”

“…Like in conventional 3D printing, support materials, in the form of stiff hydrogels, 228 ceramics, 33 , 176 , 229 or thermoplastic polymers, 31 , 33 , 55 can be included to provide long-lasting structural fidelity to constructs based on bioinks displaying low mechanical properties. Likewise, sacrificial materials e.g., based on thermosensitive hydrogels (e.g., gelatin 230 232 or poloxamers 101 , 233 , 234 ) or alginate, 235 , 236 can be used to print temporary supports. 234 The effect of gravity on printed filaments, as well as that of deformation due to time-dependent flow prior to cross-linking can be countered by printing within an environment providing buoyancy or direct support to the bioink, for instance via suspended printing into support bath, made of shear-thinning polymers, fluidized gels, or granular media, as reported for example with the approach termed freeform reversible embedding of suspended hydrogels, or FRESH.…”
