Article Abstract
To date, lack of functional hydrogel inks has limited 3D printing applications in tissue engineering. This study developed a series of photocurable hydrogel inks based on chitooligosaccharide (COS)-polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA) for extrusion-based 3D printing of bone tissue scaffolds. The scaffolds were prepared by aza-Michael addition of COS and PEGDA followed by photopolymerisation of unreacted PEGDA. The hydrogel inks showed sufficient shear thinning properties required for extrusion 3D printing. The printed scaffolds exhibited excellent shape fidelity and fine microstructure with a resolution of 250 μm. By increasing the COS content, the swelling ratio of the scaffolds decreased, while the compressive strength increased. 3D printed COS-PEGDA scaffolds showed high viability of human bone mesenchymal stem cells in vitro. In addition, scaffolds containing 2 wt% COS showed significantly higher alkaline phosphatase activity, calcium deposition, and bioactivity in simulated body fluid compared to the control (PEGDA). Altogether, 3D printed COS-PEGDA scaffolds represent promising candidates for bone tissue regeneration.

Hydrogel-based bioinks are widely adopted in digital light processing (DLP) 3D printing. Modulating their mechanical properties is especially beneficial in biomedical applications, such as directing cell activity toward tissue regeneration and healing. However, in both monolithic and granular hydrogels, the tunability of mechanical properties is limited to parameters such as cross-linking or packing density.

Ensuring the fidelity and security level of stored information is essential for information carrier materials to safeguard data and prevent counterfeiting. However, low resolution, limited encryption modes, and complex fabrication hinder existing information carriers from meeting evolving technological demands. Herein, a solvent exchange strategy from DMSO to water is employed to stably anchor hydrophobic fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) with multiple emission states onto a 3D framework of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) chains, forming a simple two-component CDs/PVA hydrogel with tunable fluorescent colors and recyclability.

The implementation of 3D printing technologies in clinical settings depends on formulations that are not only printable and compliant with quality standards but also physicochemical stable and reliable under real-use conditions. This study evaluated the in-use and long-term physicochemical and rheological stability of two hydrogel inks developed for semisolid extrusion (SSE) 3D printing: one containing pimobendan (PBD) and the other a placebo. PBD is a poorly water-soluble drug used to treat canine heart failure, whose formulation challenges highlight the potential of personalised drug delivery.

3D printing of ceramics or glass typically requires sacrificial organic plasticizers and high-temperature sintering, which is time- and cost-consuming, potentially cytotoxic, and may compromise the bioactivity and functionality of the inorganic components. We herein developed purely inorganic self-healing colloidal gels, consisting of electrostatically attractive silica-based hard nanospheres, to enable 3D printing of highly strong inorganic constructs via additive-free and low temperature sintering (LTS) processing. Through cross-scale analysis of the structural and mechanical features, we quantitatively described the constitutive relationship of attractive colloidal gels based on the integration of colloidal assembly theory with experimental characterizations.

Urethral stricture is a chronic urological condition that remains challenging to manage due to the limitations of traditional treatments like dilation and urethroplasty, which are prone to recurrence and complications. Tissue-engineered urethral grafts have emerged as a promising alternative, offering durable, functional restoration with reduced donor site morbidity. Innovations in scaffold fabrication, especially 3D bioprinting and hydrogel-based bio-inks, have led to the creation of structurally and biologically compatible constructs that can regenerate native urothelial layers.
