"Fabrication of ulvan based structure for skin tissue engineering and w" by Xifang Chen
Skin tissue engineering has made tremendous progress in producing skin substitutes for clinical grafting. Recently, three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting has been increasingly employed to fabricate living skin constructs with 3D spatial precision and microenvironmental architecture. However, this is hitting a bottleneck due to a paucity of functional materials and bioinks that are both biocompatible, functional and printable. An array of biological properties is demonstrated in the category of extracts broadly known as ulvans, including antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and anti-coagulant activiti...
