Dityrosine photocrosslinking of native collagen bioinks for controlled shape-fidelity of bioprinted cardiac tissue constructs: probing the interplay between fibrillogenesis and covalent bond formation
2026-01-14
Abstract excerpt
Collagen bioinks are widely used in biofabrication, but their relatively soft mechanical properties can lead to structural instabilities under cell-generated contraction forces. While synthetic functional groups can be conjugated for covalent crosslinking, these methods often disrupt natural protein fibrillogenesis, thereby compromising collagen fibre architecture. This work presents a strategy for the direct cova...
