Zein has enormous potential for application in biomedical field due to biodegradation and biocompatibility, we have recently prepared zein gel as a possible 3D printing ink. Our previous studies found that the pore structure in zein material can reduce early inflammation, promote the polarization of macrophages toward the M2 phenotype, and accelerate nerve regeneration. To further explore the role of zein in nerve repair, we used 4D printing technique to create nerve conduits with zein protein gel, and designed 2 types of tri-segment conduits with different degradation rates. Structural parts printed in support baths with higher water content show faster degradation rates than those printed in support baths with lower water content. The conduits that degraded quickly at both ends and slowly in the middle (CB75-CB40-CB75) and the conduits that degraded slowly at both ends and quickly in the middle (CB40-CB75-CB40) were 4D printed, respectively. Animal experiments suggest that the CB75-CB40-CB75 conduit is better for nerve repair, which may be because its degradation pattern can match to the pattern of nerve regeneration better. Our new strategy through 4D printing indicated that fine modulation in conduit degradation can affect efficacy of nerve repair significantly.
