Development of novel bioinks formulations based on supramolecular self-assembled hydrogels for tissue regeneration.

Abstract

The field of tissue engineering relies on the use of biomaterials as scaffolds for tissue and organ regeneration. If properly designed, these scaffolds can mimic the in vivo microenvironment while also providing initial mechanical support, allowing cells and active molecules to enter and spread within the scaffold. In recent years, hydrogels have gained increasing interest as biomaterials for a wide range of applications, including drug delivery and tissue engineering, as they can possess great biocompatibility, biodegradability and manufacturing stability.
