ABSTRACT
Bioprinting is an emerging technology for manufacturing cell-laden three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds, which are used to fabricate complex 3D constructs and provide specific microenvironments for supporting cell growth and differentiation. The development of bioinks with appropriate printability and specific bioactivities is crucial for bioprinting and tissue engineering applications, including bone tissue regeneration. Therefore, to produce functional bioinks for osteoblast printing and bone tissue formation, we formulated various nanocomposite hydrogel-based bioinks using natural and biocompatible biomaterials (i.e., alginate, tempo-oxidized cellulose nanofibrils (TOCNF), and polydopamine nanoparticles (PDANPs)). Rheological studies and printability tests revealed that bioinks containing 1.5% alginate and 1.5% TOCNF in the presence or absence of PDANP (0.5%) are suitable for 3D printing. Furthermore, in vitro studies of 3D-printed osteoblast-laden scaffolds indicated that the 0.5% PDANP-incorporated bioink induced significant osteogenesis. Overall, the bioink consisting of alginate, TOCNF, and PDANPs exhibited excellent printability and bioactivity (i.e., osteogenesis).
