Abstract

The objective of this study was to process and evaluate a suitable scaffold matrix system for drug delivery and tissue regeneration. A bioinspired approach was applied. The scaffold based on natural polymer gelatin, blended with polyvinylpyrrolidone, and crosslinked by genipin, was 3D printed by semi-solid extrusion (SSE). This 3D printing technique does not require high temperature or UV curing, so it allows the use of thermo- and UV-sensitive drugs, cells, or other biological components. The influence of genipin, a natural crosslinking agent, and its content on the mechanical properties and the cytotoxicity of obtained scaffolds were investigated.
