Abstract Foreign body response (FBR) is a pervasive problem for biomaterials used in tissue engineering. Zwitterionic hydrogels have emerged as an effective solution to this problem, due their ultra-low fouling properties, which enable them effectively inhibit FBR vivo . However, no versatile zwitterionic bioink that allows high resolution extrusion bioprinting of implants has thus far been reported. In work, we introduce simple, novel method producing microgel bioink, using alginate methacrylate (AlgMA) crosslinker and mechanical fragmentation fabrication method. Photocrosslinked made carboxybetaine acrylamide (CBAA) sulfobetaine (SBMA) are mechanically fragmented through meshes with aperture diameters 50 90 µ m produce bioink. The bioinks both sizes showed excellent rheological properties were high-resolution printing objects overhanging features without requiring support structure or bath. AlgMA dual role, allowing primary photocrosslinking the bulk hydrogel well secondary ionic crosslinking produced microgels, quickly stabilize printed construct calcium bath microporous scaffold. Scaffolds ∼20% porosity, they supported viability chondrogenesis encapsulated human chondrocytes. Finally, meniscus model was bioprinted, demonstrate bioink’s versatility at large, cell-laden constructs stable further vitro culture promote cartilaginous production.

Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting embedded within a microgel bath has emerged as promising strategy for creating intricate biomimetic scaffolds. However, it remains great challenge to construct tissue-scale structures with high resolution by using 3D due the large particle size and polydispersity of medium, well its limited cytocompatibility. To address these issues, novel uniform sub-microgels cell-friendly cationic-crosslinked kappa-carrageenan (κ-Car) are developed through an easy-to-operate mechanical grinding strategy. Theseκ-Car maintain submicron around 642 nm display rapid jamming-unjamming transition 5 s, along excellent shear-thinning self-healing properties, which critical fidelity in construction tissue architecture via bioprinting.
