Enabling volumetric printing of low viscosity hyaluronic acid-based resins through fast crosslinking reactions
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: m dimensions were printed in <30 s. At this concentration, HA methacrylate (HA-MA) resins with comparable viscosity and functionalization degree did not form stable structures. RGD-functionalized HA-NB scaffolds were printed in the presence of fibroblasts and showed homogeneous cell distribution across the scaffold, with cell viability >90%. Encapsulated cells spread and showed fibroblast-like morphology in 7 d cultures. We demonstrate volumetric bioprinting of low molecular weight HA-based bioresins without viscosity modifiers and in the absence of post-printing steps.
