Development of New Generation Hydrocolloid Bio-Ink for 3d Bioprinting
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2022) Arslan Yıldız, Ahu
Bioprinting enables the production of 3-dimensional (3D) structures by combining bioinks, living cells, extracellular matrix (ECM) components, biochemical factors, proteins, drugs; and it has recently become one of the most promising techniques in the field of tissue engineering. The successful production of the 3D structure to be created by 3D bioprinting technology depends on the properties of the bio-ink to be used. Hydrogel/hydrocolloid materials used as bio-inks are developed using synthetic and natural polymers where they have the necessary rheological properties for printing, they also have biocompatibility, low toxicity and support for cell attachment. Natural hydrogels, which have the ability to mimic the extracellular matrix structure and function at a high rate, are highly preferred bioink materials for bioprinting applications.
