Biomaterials with the ability to self-heal and recover their structural integrity offer many advantages for applications in biomedicine. The past decade has witnessed rapid emergence of a new class self-healing biomaterials commonly termed injectable, or printable context 3D printing. These injectable biomaterials, mostly hydrogels other soft condensed matter based on reversible chemistry, are able temporarily fluidize under shear stress subsequently original mechanical properties. Self-healing distinct compared traditional biomaterials. Most notably, they can be administered locally targeted minimally invasive manner through narrow syringe without need surgery. Their moldability allows patient-specific intervention shows great prospects personalized medicine. Injected facilitate tissue regeneration multiple ways owing viscoelastic diffusive nature, ranging from simple support, spatiotemporally controlled delivery cells therapeutics, local recruitment modulation host promote regeneration. Consequently, have been at forefront cutting-edge strategies. This study provides critical review current state As key challenges toward further maturation this exciting research field, we identify (i) trade-off between injectability vs physical stability, (ii) lack consensus rheological characterization quantitative benchmarks hydrogels, particularly regarding capillary flow syringes, (iii) practical limitations translation therapeutically effective formulations specific tissues. Hence, here chemical design strategies provide guide analysis, showcase applicability various tissues printing complex organoids.
