TL;DR: Alginate (Alg) was selected as the major component of the 'bio-ink' formulations for extrusion printing of cells and the viability of primary myoblasts delivered as a myoblast/Alg-Gel bio-ink was not affected by the printing process, indicating that the Alg-gel matrix provides a potential means to print 3D constructs that may find application in myoregenerative applications.

TL;DR: The development of a handheld biofabrication tool, dubbed the 'biopen', which enables the deposition of living cells and biomaterials in a manual, direct-write fashion and paves the way for the use of 3D bioprinting during the surgical process.

TL;DR: This work aimed to define the ideal bioprinting conditions that would deliver a scaffold with high cell viability and structural stiffness relevant for chondral repair, and enabled rapid generation of high modulus bioscaffolds with highcell viability, with potential for in situ surgical cartilage engineering.

TL;DR: A biosynthetic platform composed of a conducting polypyrrole sheet embedded with unidirectional biodegradable polymer fibers is described, which can promote rapid directional nerve growth for neuro-regenerative scaffolds and act as interfaces between the electronic circuitry of medical bionic devices and the nervous system.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate the utility of electroactive conductive polypyrrole (PPy) containing the anionic dopant dodecylbenzenesulfonate (DBS) to differentiate novel clinically relevant human neural stem cells (hNSCs).
