3D printable osteoconductive, biodegradable hydrogel developed for bone tissue scaffolds

University of Connecticut (CT, USA) researchers have formulated a hydrogel with osteoconductive and biodegradable properties, which could be used to 3D bioprint tissue engineered scaffolds. Researchers from the University of Connecticut (CT, USA) have developed a hydrogel that can be used to create bioprintable scaffolds. The results of their study were published in the Journal of Biomedical Materials Research. When used as personalized tissue substitutes, 3D printed biomaterials can promote and enhance regeneration in areas of defective tissue. The issue with 3D printing for bone tissue engineering is the lack of suitable materials with optimal rheological properties for printing that...
