Korean Amberjack Skin-Inspired Hyaluronic Acid Bioink for Reconstruction of Human Skin.

ABSTRACT: Decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) has been extensively employed as tissue engineering scaffolds because its components can greatly enhance the migration and proliferation of cultivating cells. In this study, we decellularized Korean amberjack skin and incorporated soluble fractions in hyaluronic acid hydrogels with 3D-printed tissue engineering hydrogels to overcome any limitation of animal-derived dECM. The hydrolyzed fish-dECM was mixed with methacrylated hyaluronic acid and chemically crosslinked to 3D-printed fish-dECM hydrogels, where fish-dECM contents affected both printability and injectability of the hydrogels. Swelling ratios and mass erosion of the 3D-printed hydrogels were dependent on fish-dECM contents, where higher fish-dECM in the hydrogel increased swelling ratios
