Recombinant collagen coating 3D printed PEGDA hydrogel tube loading with differentiable BMSCs to repair bile duct injury.

Bile duct injury presents a significant clinical challenge following hepatobiliary surgery, necessitating advancements in the repair of damaged bile ducts is a persistent issue in biliary surgery. 3D printed tubular scaffolds have emerged as a promising approach for the repair of ductal tissues, yet the development of scaffolds that balance exceptional mechanical properties with biocompatibility remains an ongoing challenge. This study introduces a novel, bio-fabricated bilayer bile duct scaffold using a 3D printing technique.
