Long-term chronic inflammation after Achilles tendon injury is critical for tendinopathy. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection, which is a common method for treating tendinopathy, has positive effects on tendon repair. In addition, tendon-derived stem cells (TDSCs), which are stem cells located in tendons, play a major role in maintaining tissue homeostasis and postinjury repair. In this study, injectable gelatine methacryloyl (GelMA) microparticles containing PRP laden with TDSCs (PRP-TDSC-GM) were prepared by a projection-based 3D bioprinting technique. Our results showed that PRP-TDSC-GM could promote tendon differentiation in TDSCs and reduce the inflammatory response by downregulating the PI3K-AKT pathway, thus promoting the structural and functional repair of tendons in vivo.

Permanent injury to corneal limbal stem cells after ocular surface chemical and thermal injuries is a major cause of corneal blindness. In this study, a PRP-laden GelMA hydrogel contact lens is manufactured which is aimed to support the limbal niche after ocular surface insults thereby preventing limbal stem cell failure. GelMA with varying platelet-rich plasma (PRP) concentrations (5%, 10%, and 20%) is photopolymerized using a visible light crosslinking system followed by characterizations of mechanical properties, growth factor release, enzymatic degradation, and in vitro cytotoxicity.

Repair of osteochondral defects and regeneration of cartilage is a major challenge. In this work, the mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)-laden hydrogel was designed using silk fibroin (SF) and gelatin methacrylate (GelMA), to encapsulate platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Initially, GelMA was synthesized, and SF was prepared using silkworm cocoon, then MSCs-laden SF/GelMA (SG) hydrogel was fabricated.

Background: Tissue engineering of hair follicles (HFs) has enormous potential for hair loss treatment. However, certain challenges remain, including weakening of the dermal papilla cell (DPC) viability, proliferation, and HF inducibility, as well as the associated inefficient and tedious preparation process required to generate extracellular matrix (ECM)-mimicking substrates for biomolecules or cells. Herein, we utilized gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) and chitosan hydrogels to prepare scalable, monodispersed, and diameter-controllable interpenetrating network GelMA/chitosan-microcarriers (IGMs) loaded with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and seeded with DPCs, on a high-throughput microfluidic chip.
