Comment by Gloria Campioni (Vanoni’s Lab)
3D bioprinting of hybrid hydrogels is currently a hot topic and represents a valid manufacturing methodology to implement and maximize the translation of 3D tissue models for drug screening and tissue engineering applications.
Our PhD students Sofia Magli and Lorenzo Rossi (Russo’s Lab) contributed to develop GelChiDa, a hydrogel obtained by cross-linking gelatin and chitosan satisfying multiple critical requirements including cell compatibility, enhanced printability, structural and chemical stability, appealing kinetics and rheological properties.
If you are interested in knowing more about their work, you can find the details in the just published article entitled "Combined Analytical Approaches to Standardize and Characterize Biomaterials Formulations: Application to Chitosan-Gelatin Cross-Linked Hydrogels" on Biomolecules (open access journal from MDPI).
Congratulations for this important achievement!
