Article Abstract
Collagen methacrylation is a promising approach to generate photo-cross-linkable cell-laden hydrogels with improved mechanical properties. However, the impact of species-based variations in amino acid composition and collagen isolation method on methacrylation degree (MD) and its subsequent effects on the physical properties of methacrylated collagen (CMA) hydrogels and cell response are unknown. Herein, we compared the effects of three collagen species (bovine, human, and rat), two collagen extraction methods (pepsin digestion and acid extraction), and two photoinitiators (lithium phenyl-2,4,6-trimethylbenzoylphosphinate (LAP) and Irgacure-2959 (I-2959)) on the physical properties of CMA hydrogels, printability and mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) response. Human collagen showed the highest MD. LAP was more cytocompatible than I-2959. The compressive modulus and cell viability of rat CMA were significantly higher ( < 0.05) than bovine CMA. Human CMA yielded constructs with superior print fidelity. Together, these results suggest that careful selection of collagen source and cross-linking conditions is essential for biomimetic design of CMA hydrogels for tissue engineering applications.

Despite the clinical importance of obesity, treatments have been confined to surgery or drugs, both of which carry adverse effects. Herein a nanomaterial consisting of adipocyte membrane-coated and rosiglitazone-loaded polydopamine nanoparticles embedded in hydrogel (ARNP-H) is designed aiming to induce selective lipolysis in adipocyte through activation of chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) by mild photothermal heat stress. Adipocyte membrane-coated and rosiglitazone-loaded polydopamine nanoparticles (ARNP) are taken up by adipocyte to a significantly greater extent than other cell membrane-coated nanoparticles.

The advancement of 3D bioprinting for tissue and organ engineering necessitates the development of bioinks with superior biocompatibility, printability, and mechanical properties. Collagen, renowned for its biocompatibility and bioactivity, remains underutilized due to its inadequate mechanical strength and slow gelation rates. To address these limitations, we present a novel dual-network methacrylated collagen‑magnesium (CMAMg) hydrogel fabricated via digital light processing (DLP) 3D printing.

Digital light processing (DLP) bioprinting, known for its speed and precision, has become a key tool in disease modeling and regenerative medicine. Yet, creating bioinks with optimal printability, bioactivity, and cell-supporting capacity remains a major challenge. Here, we introduce a novel dual-network collagen-based bioink, methyl acrylated collagen-dimethylphenylphosphonate (CMA-DPPA), which enables the fabrication of mechanically robust and highly printable cell-laden constructs through DLP 3D bioprinting.

Digital light processing (DLP) bioprinting has revolutionized tissue engineering by offering unprecedented speed and precision. However, its full biomedical potential is hindered by the scarcity of cell-laden bioinks that combine excellent printability with superior bioactivity. In this study, we introduce a novel cell-laden collagen-based bioink optimized for precise DLP bioprinting and diabetic wound regeneration.

Hydrogel-based drug delivery systems are of interest to researchers for many reasons, such as biocompatibility, high diversity, and the possibility of administration from different routes. Despite these advantages, there are challenges, such as controlling the drug release rate and their mechanical properties during the manufacturing of these systems. For this reason, there is a need for the production and development of such drug delivery systems with a scientific strategy.
