Assessing bioink shape fidelity to aid material development in 3D bioprinting
Alexandre Ribeiro,Maarten M. Blokzijl,Riccardo Levato,Claas Willem Visser,Miguel Castilho,Miguel Castilho,Wim E. Hennink,Tina Vermonden,Jos Malda +8 more
TL;DR: An easy way to assess bioink shape fidelity, applicable to any filament-based bioprinting system and able to quantitatively evaluate this aspect of printability, based on the degree of deformation of the printed filament is proposed.

A thermo-responsive and photo-polymerizable chondroitin sulfate-based hydrogel for 3D printing applications
Anna Abbadessa,Maarten M. Blokzijl,Vivian H M Mouser,P. Marica,Jos Malda,Wim E. Hennink,Tina Vermonden +6 more
TL;DR: The 3D printing of this hydrogel resulted in the generation of constructs with tailorable porosity and good handling properties, and embedded chondrogenic cells remained viable and proliferating over a culture period of 6days.

Biofabrication of reinforced 3D-scaffolds using two-component hydrogels
Kristel W. M. Boere,Maarten M. Blokzijl,Jetze Visser,J. Elder A. Linssen,Jos Malda,Wim E. Hennink,Tina Vermonden +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that covalent grafting of the developed hydrogel to the thermoplastic reinforced network resulted in improved mechanical properties and yielded high construct integrity, underlining their potential for further use in regenerative medicine applications.

A Synthetic Thermosensitive Hydrogel for Cartilage Bioprinting and Its Biofunctionalization with Polysaccharides
Anna Abbadessa,Vivian H M Mouser,Maarten M. Blokzijl,Debby Gawlitta,Wouter J.A. Dhert,Wim E. Hennink,Jos Malda,Tina Vermonden +7 more
TL;DR: A novel combination of M10P10 with HAMA forms an interesting class of hydrogels for cartilage bioprinting, which improved printability and resulted in three-dimensional constructs with excellent cell viability.
Hydrogel-based reinforcement of 3D bioprinted constructs.
Ferry P.W. Melchels,Maarten M. Blokzijl,Riccardo Levato,Quentin C. Peiffer,Mylène de Ruijter,Wim E. Hennink,Tina Vermonden,Jos Malda +7 more
TL;DR: The versatility of the hybrid bioprinting strategy is demonstrated by the ability to tune the stiffness of printed constructs between 138 and 263 kPa, as well as to tailor the degradation kinetics of the reinforcing gel from several weeks up to more than a year.
