November 2024 in “Bioactive Materials” This study found that 3D-printed polyamine-modified hydrogels facilitate M2 macrophage polarization and exosome secretion, enhancing skin cell compatibility and promoting wound healing and hair follicle induction in an animal model through specific signaling pathways, suggesting potential for skin disorder therapies.
This review discusses how advancements in biomaterial engineering and 3D bioprinting are transforming skin wound-healing therapies, highlighting innovations in bioinks and the evolving global market potential of these technologies for developing next-generation skin substitutes.
December 2022 in “Acta Biomaterialia” Corrections were made to a previous work on 3D printing a gel-alginate mix for creating hair follicles, but the main finding - that this method can help grow hair - remains the same.
