3D Printing of Tough Hydrogel Scaffolds with Functional Surface Structures for Tissue Regeneration
Abstract
Highlights We propose the novel concept of a tough hydrogel scaffold within the realm of tissue engineering. This scaffold combines exceptional strength (6.66 MPa), customization capabilities, and superior biocompatibility in a manner not previously achieved in existing research. These tough hydrogel scaffolds possess functional surface structures and can effectively enhance cell-guided growth and prompt regeneration of muscle tissue in vivo. This is a universal manufacturing method for tough hydrogel scaffolds in tissue engineering.
