TL;DR: In this article, a plant-inspired shape morphing system is presented, where a composite hydrogel architecture is encoded with localized, anisotropic swelling behavior controlled by the alignment of cellulose fibrils along prescribed four-dimensional printing pathways.

TL;DR: A new bioprinting method is reported for fabricating 3D tissue constructs replete with vasculature, multiple types of cells, and extracellular matrix that open new -avenues for drug screening and fundamental studies of wound healing, angiogenesis, and stem-cell niches.

TL;DR: 3D scaffold mechanics are investigated using atomic force microscopy and their absorption kinetics are determined by confocal fluorescence microscopy for a series of hydrated hydrogel films prepared from prepolymers with different homopolymer‐to‐monomer (Mr) ratios.

TL;DR: A numerical approach is proposed to convert the discrete geometry of filament bilayers, associated with print paths of inks with given material properties, into continuous plates with inhomogeneous growth patterns and thicknesses, and shows that the results provide a good correspondence between experiments and simulations, and lead to a framework for the prediction and design of shape-changing structures.
