Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided are a hydrogel composition with high viscoelasticity and a bioink composition including the hydrogel composition. The hydrogel composition according to an embodiment is composed of natural biocompatible substances and thus is not toxic, but has high viscosity, resulting in high mechanical stability or long persistence. Thus, the hydrogel composition may be usefully utilized as a bioink composition for bioprinting, a support in tissue engineering, or a soft tissue filler.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A hydrogel bioink composition for bioprinting, comprising: 16% by weight to 18% by weight of collagen with respect to the total amount of the hydrogel bioink composition; and 0% by weight to 4% by weight of hyaluronic acid with respect to the total amount of the hydrogel bioink composition, wherein the hydrogel bioink composition does not further comprise a cross-linking agent, and wherein the hydrogel bioink composition has an elastic modulus in a range of 6,900 Pa to 9,500 Pa. 2. The hydrogel bioink composition of claim 1 , wherein the hydrogel bioink composition further comprises thrombin. 3. The hydrogel bioink composition of claim 1 , wherein the hydrogel bioink composition is used for skin regeneration. 4. The hydrogel bioink composition of claim 1 , wherein the hydrogel bioink composition is laden with cells. 5. The hydrogel bioink composition of claim 4 , wherein the cells are stem cells, sensory cells, brain cells, germ cells, epithelial cells, immune cells, cartilage cells, bone cells, or cancer cells. 6. A method of preparing a biocompatible structure, the method comprising: preparing a hydrogel bioink composition according to claim 1 ; and 3D-printing the composition to produce a support. 7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the method further comprises printing by layering cells on the support.
