TL;DR: A combinatorial approach for covalent chemical modification is used to generate a large library of variants of one of the most widely used hydrogel biomaterials, alginate, and identifies three triazole-containing analogs that substantially reduce foreign body reactions in both rodents and, for at least 6 months, in non-human primates.

Current advances and future perspectives of 3D printing natural-derived biopolymers.
TL;DR: This paper reviews the state-of-the-art in terms of 3D printing technology using natural-derived feedstocks, including lignocellulose, starch, algae, and chitosan-based biopolymers, and proposes a strategical development roadmap with identified material property requirements, key challenges, as well as possible solutions.

3D bioprinting of a corneal stroma equivalent
TL;DR: 3D bioprinting is established to be a feasible method by which artificial corneal structures can be engineered and exhibited high cell viability both at day 1 post‐printing and at day 7.

TL;DR: A blend of 7%Alg-8%Gel that yields high printability, mechanical strength and stiffness, and cell viability is proposed, and the compressive behaviour of Alg-Gel is found to reduce rapidly over time and especially when incubated at 37°C.
