3D printable gelatin/nisin biomaterial inks for antimicrobial tissue engineering applications.

ABSTRACT: Modern regenerative medicine approaches can rely on the fabrication of personalised medical devices and implants; however, many of these can fail due to infections, requiring antibiotics and revision surgeries. Given the rise in multidrug resistant bacteria, developing implants with antimicrobial activity without the use of traditional antibiotics is crucial for successful implant integration and improving patient outcomes. 3D printed gelatin-based implants have a broad range of applications in regenerative medicine due to their biocompatibility, ease of modification and degradability. In this paper, we report on the development of gelatin biomaterial inks loaded with the antimicrobial peptide, nisin, for extrusion-based 3D printing to produce scaffolds with controlled porosity, high shape
