Uniting 4D Printing and Melt Electrowriting for the Enhancement of Regenerative Small Diameter Vascular Grafts

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A hybrid 4D printing strategy enables the fabrication of shape‐morphing, mechanically reinforced tubular constructs for vascular tissue engineering. By combining alginate‐methylcellulose hydrogels with melt electrowritten polycaprolactone fibers and protein‐based functionalization, this platform supports spatially organized co‐cultures of fibroblasts ...

Granular Hydrogels as Modular Biomaterials: From Structural Design to Biological Responses

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Granular hydrogels are now emerging as promising biomaterials due to their inherent microporousity, injectability, and modularity. They have shown improvements in cell viability and migration, cellular/tissue infiltration, host tissue integration, mitigated foreign body response, and tissue regeneration.

A Patient‐Specific 3D Printed Carotid Artery Model Integrating Vascular Structure, Flow, and Endothelium Responses

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces the first miniaturized, patient‐specific carotid artery model created via 3D printing using GelMA with embedded vascular cells. Combining CFD, PIV, and flow perfusion, the model replicates anatomically dependent hemodynamics and cellular responses.

Magnetic Bioprinting and Actuation of Stretchable Muscle Tissue

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Human and murine myoblasts labeled with iron oxide nanoparticles are magnetically bioprinted into wrench‐shaped tissues, which are then anchored between two magnetic needles. Mechanical stretching of these tissues enhances both their maturation and functional performance. Abstract Engineering tissues with precise, long‐lasting shapes and the capability
