Highly elastic 3D-printed gelatin/HA/placental-extract scaffolds for bone tissue engineering.

ABSTRACT: Bioengineering scaffolds have been improved to achieve efficient regeneration of various damaged tissues. In this study, we attempted to fabricate mechanically and biologically activated 3D printed scaffold in which porous gelatin/hydroxyapatite (G/H) as a matrix material provided outstanding mechanical properties with recoverable behavior, and human placental extracts (hPE) embedded in the scaffold were used as bioactive components. Methods: Various cell types (human adipose-derived stem cells; hASCs, pre-osteoblast; MC3T3-E1, human endothelial cell line; EA.hy926, and human dermal fibroblast; hDFs) were used to assess the effect of the hPE on cellular responses. High weight fraction (~ 70 wt%) of hydroxyapatite (HA) in a gelatin solution supplemented with glycerol was used for the
