Nanostructured Pluronic hydrogels as bioinks for 3D bioprinting

Envisiontec Bioplotter

Bioprinting is an emerging technology in the field of tissue engineering as it allows the precise positioning of biologically relevant materials in 3D, which more resembles the native tissue in our body than current homogenous, bulk approaches. There is however a lack of materials to be used with this technology and materials such as the block copolymer Pluronic have good printing properties but do not allow long-term cell culture.-Nanostructured Pluronic hydrogels as bioinks for 3D bioprinting
