Our collaborative work on nanocomposite bioinks has been published in Small. This work introduces a multifunctional nanocomposite bioink based on amine-functionalized copper (Cu)-doped mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (ACuMBGNs) and a hydrogel formulation relying on dynamic covalent chemistry composed of alginate dialdehyde (oxidized alginate) and gelatin, with favorable rheological properties, improved Read more…

Our review paper on the frontiers of 3D bioprinting has been published in Trends in Biotechnology. In this review, Dr. Ouyang defines two bioprinting windows to clarify the trade-offs between physical chemistry and biology and provide a comprehensive overview of recent advances that have pushed the rheological boundaries of bioinks Read more…

Our recent research article on porous bioink has been published in Advanced Healthcare Materials. This is a collaborative work with the Stevens Group from Imperial College London. In this study, we present a facile approach to engineer microscale (down to ~10 um in diameter) pores in cell-laden bioinks for 3D Read more…

Our collaborative review paper entitled “Responsive Biomaterials for 3D Bioprinting: A Review” has been published in Materials Today. It provides a comprehensive overview of responsive biomaterials for 3D bioprinting applications, highlights the strategies used to formulate responsive hydrogels into bioinks, and provides our perspectives on future trends. Z. Fu, L. Read more…
