A study conducted by researchers at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg in Germany explores the use of hyaluronic acid (HA) in tissue engineering. HA has various applications in bioengineering, including scaffolds for disease modeling and tissue culture for reconstruction. The study focuses on the role of HA as a photo-cross-linked bioink and its potential in treating bone and cartilage-related diseases, injuries, and disorders. The researchers analyze photochemical modifications and 3D fabrication technologies to understand the structure-function-property relationships that affect printability, shape fidelity, and biological performance. The article concludes with a vision for the future use of HA-based bioinks in light-based bioprinting technologies for bone and cartilage repair. [Extracted from the article] |
