Abstract 3D bioprinting bridges tissue engineering and additive manufacturing, however developing bioinks with balanced biological physical properties remains a challenge. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is promising base material due to its biocompatibility cell‐recognition features. An HA‐based bioink designed using dynamic disulfide‐crosslinking at physiological pH by modifying HA cysteine moieties. To overcome the slow gelation kinetics typical of disulfide‐crosslinked hydrogels, potassium iodide (KI) introduced, accelerating in concentration‐dependent manner. KI not only enhances but also provides radical scavenging while maintaining hydrogel integrity. A low concentration (50 m ) offers more than 3 h printing window, ensures cell viability, facilitates use fine needles (32G, 108 µm inner diameter). This enables fabrication large (>3 cm) complex structures. Using this bioink, an osteoarthritis disease model developed investigate interactions between human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs) chondrocytes, demonstrating immunomodulatory effect hMSCs on inflammation‐induced chondrocytes. Overall, addresses critical challenges bioprinting, providing robust platform for constructing innovative vitro models supporting advancements modeling precision medicine.
