Abstract Millions of people have been reported with tendon injuries each year. Unfortunately, Tendon are increasing rapidly due to heavy exercise and a highly aging population. In addition, the introduction 3D‐printing technology in area repair replacement has resolved numerous issues significantly improved quality artificial tendons. This advancement also enabled us explore identify most effective combinations biomaterials that can be utilized this field. review discusses recent development 3D‐printed tendon; where recently, some research investigated suitable pore sizes, diameter, strength for scaffolds high cells ingrowth proliferation, giving better understanding effects densities structure patterns on tendon's mechanical properties. it presents divergence between tendons other tissue how different techniques models participated development.

Abstract The physical microtopography, in an effective and stable manner, can powerfully confer biomaterials with enhanced osteoconduction for the repair of critical‐sized bone defects. However, realization osteoconductive microtopography within a 3D porous scaffold is still unmet. Herein, this work presents stone‐cottage‐inspired printing strategy to build microsphere patterned scaffolds tunable accelerated regeneration. customized composite inks poly (lactic‐ co ‐glycolic acid) microspheres as “Stone” alginate hydrogels “Mortar” endow fibers as‐printed groove‐ridge microstructure. Owing significantly promote cell recruitment, immune response, angiogenesis, osteogenesis. Meanwhile, compared 55 85 µm, 25 µm width microstructure displays most critical Mechanistically, while cells prefer adhere bigger higher modulus early phase, should also act barrier growth its smaller more beneficial communication differentiation later phase. Overall, it provides robust fabricate scaffold, broadening manipulation morphology tissue engineering.
