Abstract
Recently, four-dimensional (4D) printing is emerging as the next-generation biofabrication technology. However, current 4D bioprinting lacks biocompatibility or multi-component printability. In addition, suitable implantable targets capable of applying 4D bioprinted products have not yet been established, except theoretical and in vitro study. Herein, we describe a cell-friendly and biocompatible 4D bioprinting system including more than two cell types based on digital light processing (DLP) and photocurable silk fibroin (Sil-MA) hydrogel. The shape changes of 3D printed bilayered Sil-MA hydrogels were controlled by modulating their interior or exterior properties in physiological conditions. We used finite element analysis (FEA) simulations to explore the possible changes in the complex structure. Finally, we made trachea mimetic tissue with two cell types using this 4D bioprinting system and implanted it into a damaged trachea of rabbit for 8 weeks. The implants were integrated with the host trachea naturally, and both epithelium and cartilage were formed at the predicted sites. These findings demonstrate that 4D bioprinting system could make tissue mimetic scaffold biologically and suggest the potential value of the 4D bioprinting system for tissue engineering and the clinical application.
