A polyurethane-gelatin methacryloyl (PU-GelMA) hybrid ink was developed as a photo-crosslinkable elastic hydrogel. With the additional acrylic monomer, the ink can be tuned to accommodate elasticity and printability. Attributed to the shear-thinning properties of GelMA, PU-GelMA was preferable for extrusion printing. 3D-constructs were printed by direct extrusion or by using a sacrificial scaffold to resemble the vascular networks. The proliferation of endothelial cells on the PU-GelMA hydrogel indicated decent biocompatibility and potential utilization in artificial vessels.
开发了一种聚氨酯-明胶甲基丙烯酰(PU-GelMA)混合墨水,作为一种光交联弹性水凝胶。通过添加丙烯酸单体,可以调整墨水的弹性和可打印性。由于 GelMA 的剪切稀化特性,PU-GelMA 更适合挤出打印。通过直接挤出或使用牺牲支架来模拟血管网络,可以打印 3D 结构。内皮细胞在 PU-GelMA 水凝胶上的增殖表明其具有良好的生物相容性,有望用于人工血管。
