Description
Huazhen Liu and co-authors present a portable printer for printing hydrogels and cells directly at a wound site in a 2023 paper. Skin lesions break appearance and barrier function and can lead to severe infection and immune reactions. Printing in place deposits bio ink to repair tissue within a clinical setting. Their handheld device patterns and molds hydrogels on surfaces as needed.
Using two hydrogels of high and low thickness together, the team achieved cell laden printing with the thinner gel. Cells stayed viable while the gel gained structure. The approach can package drugs, proteins, and cells with control at macro and micro scales. Readers see a step toward wound repair that adapts to each lesion in real time.
