Abstract

Statement of Purpose: 3D printing is a promising approach for the engineering of tissues; however, the identification of bioinks with the requisite printability, cytocompatibility, and bioactivity remains an ongoing challenge.1 To this end, we recently developed a 3D printing approach that permits the extrusion and deposition of non-viscous, photocrosslinkable materials with high fidelity and encapsulated cell viability.2 Specifically, we directly cured bioinks in situ with light during extrusion to print hyaluronic (HA)-based hydrogels into 3D structures. This approach allows the printing of a wide range of photocrosslinkable hydrogel bioinks. Here, we combined this approach with a combinatorial hydrogel screening process3 to first identify and then 3D print bioinks that optimize the behavior of chondrocytes (CHs) or mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) through control over the cell microenvironment.
