3D printing technique is regarded as a versatile technique for tissue engineering due to its ability to print complex 3D structures. It is a method that deposits various materials such as polymers, ceramics, and hydrogels with precise control. Because of the possibility for patient specific shaping, 3D printing has become prominent in medical fields. Poly (L-lactide-co-ε-caprolactone) (PLCL) is a biocompatible and biodegradable elastic polymer. We printed complex constructions with PLCL and dECM hydrogel for adipose tissue reconstruction. The PLCL and hydrogel was printed through an air compressor type dispenser and a syringe type extruder, respectively. We optimized the printing process condition for forming 3D construct stably and checked mechanical and biochemical properties to assess the possibility for the medical applications. We expect that this research can be contributed to soft tissue regeneration for each patient with customized structure. |
