Hydrogel scaffolds hold great promise for developing novel treatment strategies in the field
of regenerative medicine. Within this context, silk fibroin (SF) has proven to be a versatile …

Biopolymers derived from natural resources are highly abundant, biodegradable, and
biocompatible, making them promising candidates to replace non-renewable fossil fuels and …

The main challenge of extrusion 3D bioprinting is the development of bioinks with the
desired rheological and mechanical performance and biocompatibility to create complex …

Sodium alginate (SA)-based hydrogels are often employed as bioink for three-dimensional
(3D) scaffold bioprinting. They offer a suitable environment for cell proliferation and …

The present study describes a silk microfiber reinforced meniscus scaffold (SMRMS) with
hierarchical fibrous and porous structure made from silk fibroin (SF) and wool keratin (WK) …

The meniscus tissue is crucial for knee joint biomechanics and is frequently susceptible to
injuries resulting in early-onset osteoarthritis. Consequently, the need for meniscal …

Plant tissues are constructed as composite material systems of stiff cellulose microfibers
reinforcing a soft matrix. Thus, they comprise smart and multifunctional structures that can …

Silk fibroin (SF) takes attention in tissue engineering due to unique features, eg, excellent
biocompatibility/biodegradability with superior mechanical/thermal properties despite its …
