Article Synopsis
- Three-dimensional (3D) bioinspired hydrogels are significant in tissue engineering due to their strong compatibility with biological systems.
- The research investigates the high-precision two-photon polymerization (TPP) of these hydrogels using a specific hyaluronic acid-based precursor and particular cross-linking agents.
- Key results include achieving a fine line width of 22 nm, an average Young's modulus of 94 kPa, and confirmed cell biocompatibility, highlighting the potential for advanced 3D hydrogel scaffolds in medical applications.
Achieving strong adhesion in wet environments remains a technological challenge in biomedical applications demanding biocompatibility. Attention for adhesive motifs meeting such demands has largely been focused on marine organisms. However, bioadhesion to inorganic surfaces is also present in the human body, in the hard tissues of teeth and bones, and is mediated through serines (S).
