Hydrogels are crosslinked polymer chains with three-dimensional (3D) network structures,
which can absorb relatively large amounts of fluid. Because of the high water content, soft …

Micro/nano functional devices featuring deep integration, intelligence, and miniaturization
have attracted considerable attention in frontier areas of research, such as micro/nano …

Tissue/organ shortage is a major medical challenge due to donor scarcity and patient
immune rejections. Furthermore, it is difficult to predict or mimic the human disease condition …

Escalating cases of organ shortage and donor scarcity worldwide are alarming reminders of
the need for alternatives to allograft tissues. Within the last three decades, research efforts in …

The goal of a biomaterial is to support the bone tissue regeneration process at the defect site
and eventually degrade in situ and get replaced with the newly generated bone tissue …

Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting, an additive manufacturing based technique of
biomaterials fabrication, is an innovative and auspicious strategy in medical and …

Skin and skin appendages are vulnerable to injury, requiring rapidly reliable regeneration
methods. In recent years, 3D bioprinting has shown potential for wound repair and …

Hydrogels have been widely investigated in biomedical fields due to their similar physical
and biochemical properties to the extracellular matrix (ECM). Collagen and hyaluronic acid …

Critical-sized bone defect repair remains a substantial challenge in clinical settings and
requires bone grafts or bone substitute materials. However, existing biomaterials often do …

Freedom of design, mass customisation, waste minimisation and the ability to manufacture
complex structures, as well as fast prototyping, are the main benefits of additive …
