Smart hydrogels for 3D bioprinting

Open access
Wang, Shuai, Lee, Jia Min, Yeong, Wai Yee·2024·International Journal of Bioprinting

Abstract

Hydrogels are 3D networks that have a high water content. They have been widely used as cell carriers and scaffolds in tissue engineering due to their structural similarities to the natural extracellular matrix. Among these, “Smart” hydrogels refer to a group of hydrogels that is responsive to various external stimuli such as pH, temperature, light, electric, and magnetic field. Combining the potential of 3D printing and smart hydrogels is an exciting new paradigm in the fabrication of a functional 3D tissue. In this article, we provide a state-of-the-art review on smart hydrogels and bioprinting. We identify the critical material properties needed for the most commonly used bioprinting techniques, namely extrusion-based, inkjet-based, and laser-based techniques. The latest progress in different smart hydrogel systems and their applications in bioprinting are presented. The challenges of printing these hydrogel systems are also highlighted. Lastly, we present the potentials and the future perspectives of smart hydrogels in 3D bioprinting.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
